Cracked head replacement/rebuild: Cleaning up
I've got a new head to replace the cracked one. No issue there.
The problem is that when the head was blown a lot of oil mixed with the coolant, turning it into a gooey mess. I'm planning on replacing the main coolant lines and having the radiator boiled out. But what can I use to make sure this sloppy mess is out of the block(already drained it, but I'm sure there's some still in there), the heater core, etc?
Any cleaning products that might be safe to use? I figure I should try to clean it out now rather than just flushing the system when I put it back together..

that stuff didn't seem like it wanted to come out easily, so I figured I'd need some sort of degreaser/cleanser.. guess not..

I used something made by zerex I think it was called super flush or super clean or something on another like that. It's seemed to work pretty well but I had to use 2 bottles of it.
