Message	I have flushed the system myself with a hose and some wild contraptions i have come up with, but whenever im done and refill, it didn't actually clear out the entire system (still had nasty coolant mixed in when i filled it with straight distilled water). Is it a bad idea on this car to get a "power flush" from a shop? I just replaced passenger side headgasket after previous owner tried bars leak so theres a lot of crap floating around the cooling system and the remaining coolant is crappy (oil mixed in from blown headgasket etc)...can't seem to get it all out. Is it worth getting it done at a shop with high pressure as opposed to a garden hose setup?
