Another thing not to worry about....If you are running plain water as part of your flush routine you don't need to worry about the temp hitting 100 degrees C. The cooling system is under pressure which takes the actual boiling point up at least 10 degrees or so. The coolant solution you add after the flush takes it up even higher. HOWEVER, plain water will still freeze at 0 degrees C so if you leave it in for a few weeks don't do it in freezing weather!
