Radiator Cleaner

Teado · 10-09-2008, 12:34 PM

I've completed a headgasket project and now I'm onto my coolant system. I want to flush the coolant system now. I've done this a number of times, but I think there is a lot of build-up in the radiator, so I'm planning on pulling the radiator and letting some kind of radiator cleaner sit in there for a while, then trying to blast it out with water/air. I did a search and didn't come up with anything on this.

Has anyone used any specific products for cleaning out radiators? I think a good portion of the radiator is gunked up. Any things I should or should not do?
