Default Blown Head Gasket need help.

Blew my head gasket on Saturday. I have a good amount of oil in my coolant. I need to find a way to remove the oil from the radiator, block and all coolant passages.

Please let me know what you guys have used, what does and does NOT work.

I have a friend that said pour some simple green in, 1 part SG-10 parts water let it heat up and then drain, do this 4 or 5 times and that should do the trick. But I am a little hesitant to do that.

Thanks for your help in advance.

For the oil I just would leave the drain plug out and pour a few qrts of oil down and let it drain. Then put the drain plug back in and fill with oil. run the car for a few miles and change the oil and filter again. As far as the coolant system goes you can pull the thermostat turn the heater to hot and flush the system with water until its clean
