Steve,
With that impressive list of autos, surely you didn't expect anything
but the obvious. Maybe it's just a hope you would get a different
answer. Perhaps you will. But not from me. For my money, I don't want
anything larger than a rust flake running around in my cooling system.
So go ahead and expend whatever time is necessary to get it out of
there.
