Tom -
I believe that Prestone makes a flushing kits that installs in the heater
hose and you connect the hose to this fitting. I have just removed either
the lower radiator hose or the fitting on the lower side of the block "just
above the oil pan and collected the water into a bucket. Removing the lower
block fitting seems to pull more sediment from around the cylinder walls.
