my car was running real hot today and the other day, so i decided to drain the fluid to see if its dirty in there. Here is the stupid question- Is the radiator cap suppose to come off so i can put a hose in into flush it, or do i go through the plastic holder thingamajig? Also, Do I keep the hose in it and start the car for a while and let it run.thanks for the quick reply-

Also, what temp thermostat should i get? 165?, 190? if it matters I have nitrous now!

Thanks!
