Ok so heres what i did. I hate that shit what plugs up your radiator. I dunno if you ever had this problem. It seems to start when you dont maintain your cooling system with yearly flush and refill with fresh coolant. My 69 hotrod javelin has the original radiator and it is clean as a pin but ive taken care of it. So anyways i got this really sweet three row from this doosh who apparantly had swamp water in it. Like plugged solid with the white crusties. So i dunno i like to mess around with shit and see what happens. I filled it up with this pretty cool dope called metal rescue. Its like water but disolved rust somehow. I know the white crusties aint rust but wtf i tried it anyways. Yaknow the shit works. As long as you got a couple weeks. I let that rad sit with metal rescue in it for about three weeks and it cleaned the radiator out pretty well. I drained it and flushed it out with a pressure essher. I think it got 75 or 80 percent of the crap out. So i filled it up again with fresh metal rescue. Its like 20 bux a gallon or so at the home depot. Its not bad stuff at all. Not like acid. Worth a try. Works pretty good on rusty shit too.

Cool. Sounds like a good product.
BTW, the shit to run in your cooling system is the blue coolant that the Japs use in their cars. When I did the timing belt and water pump on my nearly 300K mile Acura, everything inside was clean as a hound's tooth. Not a speck of corrosion, dirt, pitting. It all looked brand new. Stuff's a little spendy compared to regular green glycol, but I'm totally convinced of its superiority.

The stuff in my Wife's stealth was super sweet, but I drained some out and refilled for "maintenance" like a dick. Prolly shoulda left it alone
