Progress

Reverse flushed the engine block, and the heater core (seperately). Both were pretty darn clean... but now even cleaner. The more I work on it, the more I realise the Chev has been well maintained in its previous life.

Fitted the recored radiator and connected it up, save the top hose and thermostat housing; still need to clean up the gasket surfaces a bit more and get some gasket paper.

Tip:
Protect the core when sliding it in past the fan by covering it in thick cardboard from the box the radiator came in (see below).



Keen to degrease and pressure clean soon.
