Comet to Clean a Radiator?
 
Has anyone ever heard of doing this? I found out yesterday that a mechanic put Bars Leak in my Radiator a couple of months ago, and I want to flush my system out this week end. Any suggestions or ideas would be greatly appreciated.

I have a 1985 FLC with a 350BCC engine.

Noooooooo
Lots of manufactures put in Bars Leak right at the time the Truck is put on the Line

Good Radiator flush will do the trick for you

What is the best method to do a Radiator Flush?

get a flushing kit
A good radiator flush will give you the instructions on how to clean and flush your radiator.

Just remember about flushing
It only takes a little anti freeze to kill a dog

lol-yep-Sometimes when you flush the radiator you might find a pinhole or two

And I'm sure the abrasives in Comet would do wonders for the water pump seals.

I know some truck dealers who use Cascade dishwashing detergent. :D
