Cooling system maintenance

Holden Commodore radiator flush and thermostat housing gasket replacement

A closer look at the preparation behind this cooling system job, from old gasket residue to cleaned sealing faces.

This Holden Commodore job involved a radiator flush and thermostat housing gasket replacement. The photos below document the work and the preparation involved.

Preparing the housing

With the housing removed, old gasket material was cleaned from the mating surfaces before the replacement gasket was fitted and the housing reassembled. Careful surface preparation is an important part of replacing the gasket that seals this joint.

Radiator flush

The work also included a radiator flush using Penrite Radiator Flush as part of the cooling system maintenance.
