Default coolant blockage

Hello: New guy here from Alaska. You wouln'd think I would be bothered by overheat but this is to much. I have a 1994 Grand with a 5.2 liter V-8. apparently a piece of the plastic shoulder that holds the upper radiator hose on the radiator boke off and went into the coolant manafold and is blocking a circulation port somewhere inside. Any ideas short of tear down to get out or possibly disolve in place? thanks, Jim

Try a reverse flush to see if you can wash it to where you can at least see it and retreive it with a pair of long needle nose pliers.

BTW Welcome to CF. Gonna move this th GC area.
