How to clean copper spary out of the cooling system?
« on: October 23, 2013, 02:41:45 PM »

So I (being a dumbass) Copper sprayed my head gasket a couple of years ago and My cooling system is full of the the shit now. Gonna pull the head and swap a non sprayed gasket back on. Now how do I get rid of the residual shit in the cooling system? Have you guys ever had this problem? Didnt think about the open deck on the honda motor when I did this. I need to clean the rad out too I think. What would rhmt do?

A heater hose t-adapter and and a garden hose flush should do the trick, maybe with some superflush chemicals.

Takes about 15 minutes or so.  :noel:

it just flakes off the headgasket thats in the coolant jacket after a while i think and floats around in there. it was built up in the corners of the sleeves in my Y7 block from the POOR ass mini-me swap. lots of black rtv to scrape off that fucker too... hate.
