I'm trying to do a radiator flush on my 1995 chevrolet 4cylinder cavalier. It's has 160k miles. The radiator cap is not on the top like some vehicles. How and where would I drain and how do I flush? Any ideas would be appreciated!

there is a little valve called a petcock at the bottom passanger side of the radiator i belive on your model, to drain connect a hose to it and turn the petcock and put hte hose in a pale. then you hsould follow it with coolant system flushing solvent.
