Casting sand clogging radiator (pic)
After watching "How It's Made" on discovery channel and seeing how clay is used as a mold for engine blocks I concluded that my dirty antifreeze is from left over casting sand. I was right, check out the pic of my original radiator! Purchased a new radiator from Orielly for $80.

I've only used Plain Jane green. Not sure what was used before. Could the orange stuff do this?
