Re: only overheats at full throttle ???
Don't have to pull the exchanger. Pull the front cap. The inlet is the top front hose if there are impeller pieces that are large enough to block the tubes they should be there. Don't worry about the antifreeze, it is inside the exchanger body, it will not leak out when you pull the cap. If it is dirty in there you might want to pull the rear cap too and flush out the tubes. Any pieces small enough to pass through the tubes should have been flushed out of the system. If your engine water pump is not leaking it should be OK, there is essentially nothing to ware out there since the aluminum impeller is bolted directly to the cam. In other words no pump bearings, just the two seals. Good luck.
