As you can see in my pics I took out the hoses and out comes nasty mix of oil and coolant. As I was taking it out a little water came out. So heres a question pretty sure there's still more oil in the pipes. How do I flush it out of there + the radiators? can I stick a hose somewhere and "let it rip"? Because I am going to have to take all this junk out of the piping and radiators right? thanks!

I dont know lil bastard it just came like that. I wanted to ask can I stick a hose and with the pressure get all the gunk out of the radiators and water lines? or should I take out the radiators to get them cleaned? Does the coolant flush just consist of taking the coolant out or actually flushing the system with a water hose or something like that?

flushing with a system cleaner is probably going to be needed. and a single pass through with a water hose stuffed up the whazoo hose is not going to get the crap out. :troll:

you will likely need to add some cooling system chemical and then get the system hot. same procedure as refilling and burping the cooling system, and probably need to do it twice. there must be some chemical that you can add that will bind the oil and keep it from seperating from the water.

lastly make sure you have oil in the engine in the correct place before you hit the starter
