You should be flushing the heater, block *and* radiator, and I wouldn't 
expect it to clog anything, wouldn't be much good as a flushing agent if it 
did!  You should remove various hoses to enable you to forward and reverse 
flush each component, although this is best done with a hose, possibly after 
using the flushing agent in the system as a whole, then draining.  If the 
flushing agent is used hot then allow the engine to cool before using a hose 
and cold water.  If a radiator leak sealer has been used in the past none of 
this maybe enough to fully clear the radiator (or heater), you may have to 
unsolder the header tank and rod the tubes out.
