Default Re: “Normal” model a temp

I havent had a a boil over or steam event yet. I think i’ll try some radiator flush solutions and see how things go. Then when winter strikes i will remove the radiator and have it flushed professionally. I was researching what the radiator shops use in the heated dunk tanks and it seams to be pretty much lye. Has anyone tried adding lye to the radiator to flush it? Im thinking if i drain the antifreeze and then fill the cooling system with water i could then ad lye (powdered drano) and drive the car for a while. Wouldnt this in a roundabout way be similar to dunking the radiator in a hot lye bath? Or would this be a recipe for disaster for seals in the motor?
