Dear list:
Among the Sprite chores that occupied me this weekend, I started
disassembling the cooling system. While removing the gooseneck to get at
the thermostat (surprise... none was in there!), I noticed that the coolant,
which had long since vanished, had left a thick coating of rust flakes all
through the head. Is there a way to clear that stuff out of there without
pulling the head? Does the water pressure afforded by a garden hose flush
enough of that stuff out to be useful? Or should I just pull the head and
send it off to a warm bath at my machine shop?
BTW, what is the fluid that is used in a hot tank?
Regards,
Charles
