The engine that I'm going to be using has been sitting for awhile so I found this while tearing it down:
Now my plan is to hook an electric motor I have lying around up to the water pump with a V belt and run the water pump to flush the block using a bucket for the water inlet/outlet. My question is this, what do I use to flush? I'd like to run something that will get rid of as much of that crud as possible.
I will be running this with the engine not running (in fact the head gasket will not even be in - that way the bottleneck there can be cleaned out as well) and no radiator / heater core hooked up. I intend to use a radiator filter (inline at the hose) or two on the inlet hose to filter out large particles.
I also intend to do this multiple times.
Thanks,

PS - Anybody in the L.A. area (preferably South Bay) know of places that will take used coolant?
