Options for "Flushing the Coolant Passages" of an engine block?

[mx54life]

Well as I was removing the leaky freeze plugs I realized that I need to flush the coolant passages of this engine block as it is full of gunk/rust from using a poor mix. The prior owner probably was using tap water I'm guessing lol. Anyhow I am trying to seek some options if I can do this in my garage as I don't want to do a full rebuild. So far this what I have gathered.

1. Bring the block to the machine shop and have it bathed/flushed.

2. Use this? http://www.ultraoneusa.com/shopdispl...t+Rust+Remover

Any other suggestions? Thanks

BTW here is how it looks....

Take it to a shop for a hot tank cleaning. Unless you have your own "power clean2000" or some kind coolant flush machine. If you want the best go for the hot tank. I paid about $100 for mine to be cleaned and it came out nice.

It looks like you're pretty close to where I am at. Who did you go to?
