Just so the list knows, I spent 1-2 hours reading through the archives
looking for coolant flush information, and while there is some of it if you
are going to use a flushing tee, and there is also some guy who tried three
times to include a 6 part attachment about flushing(but he apparently failed
and gave up), but I didn't find what I was looking for, hence the questions
I've posed.

If anyone can point me to an archive, faq, or article that's appropriate, I
would much prefer to go that route.
