Unclogging A Heater Core

There is a lot more here than meets the eye, the original video cut was about 16 min long. As you can see we did have some fun. I may post some of the out takes at some time in the future. I thought you might want to cover the process here and that's what I went for.

Thanks to http://www.youtube.com/user/Davidsfarm for the procedure for this and hopefully for letting me post this as a video response to his video.

If I think of anything else I think you need to know with this I'll post it later, for now I have to run.

You just saved my marriage!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!

My wife was ready to divorce me after her heat stopped working. It's nice and toasty now.

That's a brilliant idea to use compressed air. I once tried it with a hose and tap pressure water. In a very old Ford Escort the bits of corrosion in the engine had broken off and the previous owner used RADWELD to seal a small leak. That cured the leak but glued all the bits and blocked the heater matrix, it was a solid lump when I managed to remove it. That's why I am not a fan of the products that stop leaks and are meant to fix gaskets. Just replace the broken part and prevent extra damage!
