make sure you got a good seal around the hole before giving it water pressure,if you don't you'll get wet.and use the vc9 after you backflush the cooler,then backflush it after the vc9 treatment until it comes out clean.I took the left side block plug out and left my bottom radiatoe hose off when I did mine.and use the full quart on it.after all the backflushing you'll still need to flush the system to,I just filled it normally,got it hot,and pulled the lower radiator hose off.and repeat that about a dozen times until clean.

I believe the bottle says 20 min. but you will see better results if go drive around for at least an hour..
