Subject:coolant system flush, engine out
From:Dan Barrett

Volks,
Just picked up the new engine from Boston Bob -- doing a little prep work
before installing it.  What's the best way of flushing the long coolant lines
and the radiator prior to installing the new engine?  I've got the bus up on
jackstands in the rear; should I lower the back end, raise the front end, and
shoot a hose into one of the long coolant pipes?
I just want to ensure that my new engine runs on nice, clean coolant (fresh
OEM VW blue coolant standing by).

Best,
d.
