Best way to get that crap out of there....

Ok, my car had a VERY bad overheating problem since i've owned it. When i was younger, i didn't take very good care of it. It had a crack on the radiator (the plastic tank on the pass side), that i would just put off and put off and put off. Eventually, the entire coolant system became rusted out. It would overheat so bad. The tempature gauge would get so high, that it would just fall down to the right side until the car would cool down.

Anyways, so awhile back, i finally changed everything. New hipo pump, radiator, all hoses, and 185 t-stat. When i was changing my water pump, after i got the old one off, i was reaching inside the block (where the waterpump goes), and there was ALOT of gunk and **** in there. I was scraping a bunch of it off with my fingernail. So this brings me to my question.

How can i get all that crap outta there? My car still overheats when i use my ac. What is the best radiator flush to use? Thanx for any help.

Flush coolant out completly and add one 8oz bottle of RMI-25 fill up with distilled water and repeat process in a month. You will be surprized how well this product works.

I got it through a local parts store. Its kinda like water wetter but alot better. Depending one where you are you might need to add some antifreez.
