I recommend not trying to flush your motor.  I did it as recommended on here and it ruined my entire car.

LOL.  We all know that he's talking about flushing the cooling system in the motor, not running water through the crankcase like you did.  Besides, it didn't ruin your entire car, just the engine.

The engine is practically the entire car.  Car was of no use to me anymore as it would not run......

you normally cant get the block plugs out, more than half the time they are rusted in really bad and youll either strip the plug or break it pulling it out. just stick a garden hose in the water neck and flush the engine out that way. pull the t-stat though or you wont get anywhere


so your the one that flush your crank case with water
