Collant Flush
Hello, I planning on taking my 87 2nd gen N/A next week to have the engine's old coolant flushed out at a certified place.
Do you guy's have any advice..as just what to watch for. This should be like any other car right ?? it's just to have my coolant flushed out and replaced.

simply getting your coolant replaced is fine, it is like any other car.
be careful though getting it "flushed". if the flush it simply with water that is ok, but don't let them flush it with any sort of chemical flush additive. there is a small chance your coolant seals will not like it, but mostly i say this because it is usually useless to use a chemical flush.
also there is a separate engine block drain plug, located at the driver's side engine mount.
