My new radiator is already clogged with scale from my block and it seems to have happened ever since I heard some detonation pulling a steep hill. It was a 90 degree day and that may have contributed to the detonation. The block has been in the car for about 6 years now so this isn't a new build so the scale in the radiator was somewhat of a mystery to me. I am going to flush the block and install an inline filter in the upper hose for a while and see what it catches.

I have seen some videos of Thermocure flush made by Evaporust and from what I have seen it works pretty well. I might just get a gallon of Evaporust and flush it through a few times. Mike I have thought about the anode idea after I get it flushed out to keep it clean. Still don't understand how this happened all of the sudden this year 64 Plymouth Savoy 493 Indy EZ's by Nick at Compu-Flow 5-Speed Richmond faceplate Liberty box Dana 60

Maybe just get a new block next time around Gus 64 Plymouth Savoy 493 Indy EZ's by Nick at Compu-Flow 5-Speed Richmond faceplate Liberty box Dana 60
