this has happen to me,

I kept flushing HOT water into the system for hours LOL.
than i removed the radiator and hoses. flushed the hot water over and over into the radiator until clear water came out. same for the hoses.

im sure theres a better way, but this is the home way i did LOL.

Take it to a radiator repair shop they will be able to flush it for like $25, hot water will not break down oil to remove it.

try flushing it with a radiator flush which is basically soap. Do not use dish soap or laundry soap. You can use dishwasher soap it doesn't suds up like regular soap. I had a customer buy car wash soap one time and used it as radiator flush . It really made a mess. Kinda looked like a suds explosion.

DO NOT RUN YOUR CAR LIKE THAT!!!!!!!!!!

My buddies engine blew a hole in the side of the block because his headgasket was blown and he kept driving it. Replace the head gasket. Drain the oil, replace the oil filter and then readd new oil. Then hold a hose to the radiator and the radiator hoses to the block for a good five minutes. That will help flush everything out. That should do it. Have phun!

I was running with the head gasket blown for a good 3 months, went 13.4 with it. I just got done with a rebuild all new gaskets, pumps, b16 head , blah blah.

I just got back form autozone and they dident have any kinda radiader flushing fluid that you can just use without running the car. I dont want to flush it like that because the block and head is super clean sence it just came out of the machine shop. I will probley just take it to a radiader repair shop and have it done.
