iMotoPilot Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 Do many of you drain the cylinder chamber of coolant? Dang drain sits on top of the oil filter and I just changed the oil. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Duc2V4 Posted April 2, 2016 Member Contributer Share Posted April 2, 2016 The first time I did but the second and third time (2 different VFRS) I didn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iMotoPilot Posted April 2, 2016 Author Share Posted April 2, 2016 Thanks for the reply. I've owned two other 6th gens and never did either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aimbot9000 Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 I did when I tried engine ice because you have to completely remove the old stuff but since switching back to normal coolant I havent bothered. It holds enough in the block to throw off a 50/50 premix, dont remember the exact amount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iMotoPilot Posted April 2, 2016 Author Share Posted April 2, 2016 I've gone through 2 gal of distilled water to flush the system. Going to flush it with clean coolant to make the final coolant fill closer to 50/50. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Mohawk Posted April 2, 2016 Member Contributer Share Posted April 2, 2016 Why flush ? If the system has been run on 50/50 anti-freeze/water, then it should never need flushing. One of the atributes of anti-freeze is corrosion inhibiters ! You will gain nothing in the process & the front/rear block bottoms hold a tiny amount of coolant when on the side stand. Just look at where the water inlets to the block are & how much of the water jacket is below that inlet ! You should only have to flush & or dry the coolant system if 1. it has been run on raw water for any period of time or 2. you are changing to a waterless coolant as per a previous poster ! YMMV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
