Default getting oil out of coolant system?

So i blew my headgasket a while back, and reassembled and runs fine.

however, I want to get the oil out of my coolant system, by doing some type of flushing, but i know a typical flushout with water won't necessarily push out all the oil.

Is there anything i could buy that I could throw into my coolant, and then run it for a while to clean it out?

there are some chemical cooling system flushing things you can buy at autozone or pep boys that should work pretty well..

just follow the directions and you should be good to go......

I don't think it would hurt it at all.
