Chris,
I dunno, but you might be better off to have the shop test you radiator
and heater core. They'd be accustomed to what to look for, plus you
wouldn't have to worry about blowing something out by using too much air
pressure!
As for the oil cooler, the list seems to recommend just buying a new
one. The kerosene will eat out some of the chunks in the cooler, but might
loosen some large particles that could clog your engine when the cooler is
reinstalled. I feel pretty foolish for paying $25 for a used oil cooler a
few years ago...
Oh well, live and learn!
