So, my explorer, when I bought it, the guy claimed he didn't run it without coolant, but that the water pump needed replacing. Now, there was coolant sprayed over the engine bay from a leak in one of the heater core hoses.
We pressure tested, found that leak, cut the hose short, pressure tested again, and leaked it out side of the radiator.
I am planning to flush the heater core.
My question is: Should I try to do a coolant flush on the engine block? "there might not be anything in it to begin with".
If yes, with the old leaking stuff in place, Or just replace everything and then do the flush,
Or no, and just replace everything and put proper coolant in?
Thanks.
P.S If yes, easiest way to flush the block, when I have the radiator, and water pump removed? That would be my follow up question. A link if you have it to the walk through already made would work.
