Selected User Reviews For Lisle 60900 Heater Core Backflush Tool
It is true that I am a professional mechanic, and I haven't had the opportunity to use this tool before. A decade ago, I installed a new heater core on my Chevrolet Blazer. So a couple of months ago I was getting ready to remove the whole dash board again for the core replacement because it got plugged a few months ago. It seemed there was nothing to lose, but a lot to gain, so I ordered it at Amazon. You can also tell if you have a bad core by feeling the temperature in the two hoses at the heater if it is A normal operating engine will have both hot when it is operating correctly. By plugging in, you will only have one hot line (inlet). The other one (return) will be much cooler, or will just be To return to my use of the flush tool, let's look at it. In my case, I simply disengaged the hoses at the heater at the firewall, installed a length of 3/4 at the inlet and 5/8 at the outlet, then installed the Lisle flush tool at the end of the outlet hose, and started a back flush. After about 25 minutes of letting water flow in only that direction, I turned the valve off and let water out slowly. In that instance, I reconnected my original hoses and topped off my coolant in the radiator (newer cars at the reservoir) as the engine ran and was quite amazed and relieved at how quickly I had my heater core back to normal operation. As I write this, I am still amazed at the simplicity of the tool and the way it can safely clean such a difficult and labor intensive part of Add the additive to the core and let it sit for at least a few hours (follow the directions on the product label) then flush again and check if the flow has been I wish you the best of luck. Thanks to your Lisle flush tool I was able to save a lot of time and money!.
for a heater core flush that took far too long. A particularly stubborn Jeep Liberty core was just about to be flushed when I dropped this tool. Performing flawlessly, it did not require any adjustments. In order to make the tool easier to use and more repeatable, I cut a couple of different diameter scrap hoses, clamped them to the end of the tool, and then connected them directly to the outlet of the core. This was a good solution. It was easy enough to let the water pressure go down, I just locked the nozzle in the open position, and I waited. The most effective way of flushing is to flush both ways repeatedly. We are very satisfied with the quality of the tool and purchased this brand in particular because we have other tools from Lisle that have stood the test of time. We are confident that this tool.
This product will allow me to easily flush the heater core of my Ford Explorer. They have a video where they order an adapter with a nozzle, so they can screw it into a Although that's not a bad idea, it would be a huge In addition, when the garden hose is kinked, you can't control the psi easily. The Lisle tool worked great and it was very easy to use. I squeezed the trigger about 1/4 of the way (it will create some pressure when doing this), got lots of gunk out, and nothing got stuck. As always, I'm a fan of Lisle products, this is my third. I highly recommend it. You don't need to think about the price as I did, it is worth the money to avoid all that hassle This software is free (as far as I've.
It seems to work fine. The tool is simple enough to use and works well. A good piece of work. To flush the back heater core of my Yukon XL I used this product.
A very useful We will walk you through how to flush your cooling system if you're unsure how to do it. There are several different sizes of hoses, fittings, and so on that I need to utilize when flushing systems. The process is much easier with this. My recommendation for this tool is strong. Throughout the years, Lisle has made many great tools.
One of the cars I bought it for had a coolant system full of stop leaks. I had to replace the head gasket, radiator, and flush the coolant, and still couldn't get enough coolant to make the heater core My decision to buy this for trial worked amazing. It arrived the day after I ordered it, so I decided to give it a try. A bunch of stop leak crap was flushed out, and it worked great because of that.
My head gasket blew, so I got a quote for $4500 to replace the water pump and head gasket, so I decided to replace the pump myself and just run $30 of fuel. In an attempt to fix the gasket, we would stop the leak of things through the engine. The coolant worked, but at the same time, it clogged up my heater core and my engine ran very hot, so I had to keep adding more. A garden hose flush tool was cheaper, but it didn't work because it flushed water in two directions instead of getting right to the root of the trouble. After backflushing with this one, my car has been running great for a few months now, and I no longer need to add coolant!.
It's a great piece of work. The unit has been used once to flush the heater core and once to flush the coolant system. This is a very good product. My first reaction was to be reluctant to spend $30 on the item. The quality of this watch is such that I expect it to last the rest of my life. Hoses slide right in with no problem.
