External Flushing Radiator Fins 8V92

[Howard O. Truitt]

Curt,
This past Saturday I took the grills off the engine and ginny radiators and
pressure washed them. They were full of dirt, dust, leaves, twigs and small bits
of paper and insulation. I mixed up a couple five gallon buckets of water and
dawn dish washing liquid and used this to suction through the pressure washer to
wash with then I flushed with clear water.
Don't forget to clean the fan blades. A dirty fan blade will drasticly cut down
on air movement. Since my next job is to clean the engine and compartment I was
not concerned about covering the motor.

8V92 Radiator. The engine coolant temperature stays within the
specifications when driving on flat or climbing hills. Inspection, from
what I can see, the radiator looks good. The only visible thing from the
engine side is the radiator could use a good flush to get the dust out
between the fins. Anyone done this? High pressure or just city water
pressure? Place plastic on the engine side to keep the dirt from washing
onto the engine, or don't worry about that?
