Hi All.
I received my new radiators, HWLabs GTS 360 X-Flow and a GTX 360, and noted that there is a little corrosion inside, as I've tried to show in the pics linked to below.
I have read that flushing new radiators is wise anyway, and after seeing the ports of my new rads I decided I'd use the Mayhems Blitz kit to give the system a good start in life.
Part 1 of the process seems pretty easy (fill radiators, let sit for 12 hours, flush with distilled water a few times), but Part 2 of running the liquid through the system for 24 hours then flushing 3 or 4 times seems a bit of a pain.
Do you think it would be OK to do Part 1 as prescribed, then for Part 2, since all components will be new, just leave the liquid in the radiators (not in system yet), shake them about, and flush before assembling? Or do you think it would require velocity of liquid to properly get part 1 out (apparently part 2 is needed to re balance the pH of the system).
Thank you!
