[DML] Re: Cooling System Care

["thebrave65" <johnnysher1@xxxxxxx>]

You *can* use distilled water, but it will be a bit more expensive 
and more difficult to get the water flowing thru to really flush it.

I thought about the same thing when I did mine, and the garden hose 
worked best.

If you remove the engine block drain plugs after you flush it, you 
will get practially all of the water out.  Besides, if you do it 
every two years anyway, you'll be maintaing your system properly.

Don't forget to pressure-bleed the radiator to get the air out after 
you fill it back up with coolant.

> When flushing a cooling system should the new coolant be mixed 
with tap water or distilled water or does it really matter? Several 
years ago I had a head gasket failure on an aluminium block Cadillac 
engine and the service manager told me  that if I had added GM 
Cooling System Seal Tabs(Part No. 3634621-a $4 part) with an engine 
flush every 3 or 4 years it would likely have eliminated a $1500 
head gasket repair. Since the DeLorean engine block is aluminium 
should a similiar additive be used in it?  Your thoughts will be 
appreciated.
