You can Back Flush the entire system Cosmo ... Buy a Prestone Backflush Kit.
Several plastic fittings, an overflow pipe for the radiator, use a small piece
of hose and put the garden hose tee fitting onto the heater pipe, maybe dump
it some radiator cleaner, make sure the heater valve is open, and turn on the
hose (there is a volume valve in the kit). Cleans everything and shoots it
out the radiator filler opening.
Messy but effective.
