Ferrari Mailing List: Re: How Many Crush Washers for 512 TR Coolant Flush

[Clyde Romero (clyderomerof4]

Yes you need the thermostats there are 2 to open so you get a complete drain 

You will need 2 gallons of anti freeze

And a 10 mm socket in order to bleed the system 

And don't be lazy

Remove the 2 panels that are in front of the radiators 

Also spray some 409 in the front of the radiators 

Then get a stream of low pressure water and from the rear of the radiators push water thru the fins 

You will be surprised how much shit comes forward!

In victory you deserve Champagne

In defeat you need it!

     

Scars are Tattoos with better stories !

If you follow all the rules

You miss all the fun!

None needed

The two plugs on the radiators have rubber re usable washers 

Really? Nice - that's an upgrade from the crush washers on the original TR, then. SCORE! :)

 

You drain the entire system from there 

That's it no engine drain 

Get the car warm 

Get it warm BEFORE I drain????
