Wow.... Today discussion is really informative..

 

All riders sharing their precious experience on coolant knowledge....

I m truly impressed.

 

Sev's words make sense as there r some mechanic saying the same and some friends of mine did coolant flush 3yrs once oso no pro.

 

What Aalex82 said is wat the mechanic related to me and grasscutter had seen this kind of case..

 

So if took everything into consideration, there is chances in success or failure.

So should i go ahead with coolant flush and wait for any problem?

or should i jus continue riding with an ease mind tat coolant flush is not necessary?

 

Alternative ways are welcome. :)

as i said, is better to change..

i juz saying that if long time no flush coolant, leakage may occur if u flush it.

wat yr mechanic told u is be prepare for some money if u hav leaking problem..

i flush my coolant every 6 months..

cos the turbulence is stronger around water circulation holes in the engine block compare to almost laminar flow in the hose and the radiator..

the lack of deposit of iron oxide(rust) over the holes causes such problem..

dun small look water..

water can even use to cut things up..

erm just imagine, u take 1 bottle of water or purified water... leave it in a bottle (untouched) then u drink it after 6 months or even 1 year. i dun think it will be good for the body, let alone 3 years...

how do u flush yr coolant??

juz drain the coolant out and replace the coolant??

when i flush my coolant, i insert a running water hose..

sometimes i even add in some vineger, radiator cleaner solution..

:btw: u noe the coolant flow direction??

from where to where??

when u insert the running water hose at the opening where the radiator cap are, the water flow is in different direction..

the lays of mild scaling and rusting is form by the direction of the flow created by coolant pump..

th reverse direction of water flow by hose, will rub off the rust..

u take pot with leftover food to wash.

u add in some water and stir the water.. after some time, there is still dirty leftover.. but u try opposite direction, even more dirt will come off.. u see how yr washing machine works..

:smile:

i open the drain bolt and drain the coolant.

pour in fresh coolant, start engine and rev the engine, drain the coolant again and add in new one.

 

yes, i know how my engine work, i got 800+ pages manual that i'd read it all.

 

what i do not agree with you is the rust will prevent leakage. No rust can seal a hole or gap. it has nothing to do with the direction of coolant flow. rust particles may clog your engine, but it will never seal a gap.

 

i'm sorry about the engine wall corrosion part, so far i've ridden Yahama & Honda, none of them had engine problem due to coolant.

i never own a kawasaki, so grasscutter gave us a valuabel info (conclusion - dont get kawi!)

as u hav say.. may clog the engine..

the rust particles is stucked at the hole..

so call seal it up..

but is true from wat u say.. the "seal" is rather weak..

therefore the rust particles may flush out when flushing coolant..

the hole is surface back..

abt the same theory when touring, if u hav a leaking radiator.. u can break one egg into it.. to temporary seal the hole..
