    Cool Trying to flush this radiator

    Hey fellas,


    Trying to flush my radiator at the moment. Went in the garage and took a look and realized i have no clue what i am looking at.

    I need to locate the top and bottom hoses for the radiator and also the plugs for engine or block.

    Heres some pics.

    thanks.


    Here is inside my radiator cap


    Here is a side shot. In this photo if you look at the two hoses side by side leading into the engine from the radiator, i assume these can come undon for emptying the block?


    Here i cannot find a plug underneath the radiator to release the coolent. Can you spot the plug? Also hoses side by side again.


    This thing is right next to the reservoir.

    LMFAO, see the big fat black hose coming off the top of your motor???(see second picture) thats the top hose for th radiator, look for the same size hose on the bottem of the radiator and that will be your bottem hose
