for a reverse flush has anyone used one of the heater line water hose setups? If there is a filter inline it would be easy to do as the lines are already tapped into and it seems it would work fine if the Tstat was out and then there would be good reverse flow out of the rad and through the system. Just wondering?

Besides if flushing what difference is there between tap water and distilled? I can see distilled for the final install. If there are plugs to drain the block and the lower hose is pulled any residual tap water would be minimal.

The main reason i went with distilled water O mineral and the block never cools down where with tap water it will cool down quick the only thing different i would do is to add this to the drivers side block drain
