I already removed the old radiator, so I need to put vinegar in my new radiator and let it for a day of something? and should the motor also must be started for cleaning the engine?

So the one on the pics is your new or old radiator?

Here I did a quick google and found this.

The new one is new Tongue

But you still have some shit in the system ---> block, head, hoses, etc. I would do some kind if provisional setup, without the radiator and run the engine to clean the system.

Open up all water outlets (bottom rad hose, bolt on exhaust side of engine block) and let a garden hose run some water through it a few times.

Or what I did before replacing a rad: run your system on tapwater for a short run, and flush it completely. Repeat two times, this way the water will take up a lot of the crap left in the system.

Thanks,

I am thinking about to put the old rad back, and going to buy a special pill for cleaning the system with motor running this way I believe the rust in the system will go. and then do the flushing with water after that.
