Default D16Z6 engine flush

I'm going to be flushing the radiator and engine in my honda. I'm going to be using a pressure washer to force water through the system before i use a motor flush treatment. when using the pressure washer how should i do it. Force water through the top of the radiator (under the cap) and take off the lower hose from the radiator? vice versa???

whoa are you saying your gonna use a pressure washer to send water through your engine or just your radiator??
Hopefully just your radiator.....
and read some reviews on the engine flush first. some people recommend it and some dont.

WTF and why? are you overheating? might just be a clogged radiator. sounds like you've been listening to too many ford/chevy guys with their POS cooling systems.
there's no need to do such a thing to a honda.

yes the cars having heating problems and yes i was planning on doing what the Haynes manual said. so only flush the radiator with the pressure washer and not the entire cooling system. and I've also read in super street to remove the cooling hoses running through my throttlebody and hook the hoses together with a fitting, to stop excess temp from the coolant warming up the throttle body. anyone experienced with this
