So right before you add the citrus acid you flush out all the soap that was added before. You flush the system till clear water runs out of the radiator.. and I did that...Then the citrus flush... when I drained the radiator the water was black. I dont know what was in there but its all gone now. I feel pretty good about the citrus flush right now.
I wish my temp would sit at 80 and not move, om603, but it still does not ever brake 100, stays at about 90....so I am not too worried

I think that's an unrealistic expectation, unless you live in Kansas. The thermostat isn't open all the way at 80.
