Out of curiousity, what kind of pump would I use to circulate the Prestone and Citric Acid? I'm assuming (and we all know how destructive that can be) that I will have removed the radiator and heater core by this point, as I know at least the radiator can not be saved. (Thing leaks like pasta in a collander) Or do I need to try and run this through the entire existing system? Before replacement parts are ready to be installed? Though that seems like it would flush scale from places that are going to be scraped anyway .... should a google of "radiator flush" help here, or do I need more info? -- Knowledge is power...
