I really need to give it a serious "flush". The radiator is only 2 years old so don't need to do entire system, but what I was thinking was to remove existing hoses and attach a 2-3 foot section and hold in the air and with a funnel, fill the core with some sort of cleaner. Is this a good statagy? No leaks or anything like that. If this is good idea, what would I use to clean the core?
