Bleach works great for breaking down the sh1te...  flush it out well and mind your eyes.....  50/50 coolant mix thereafter..

I used bleach in the tractor's rad off the car, and it moved a lot, but didn't unblock it :(

Not sure I would want bleach around my cooling system though...

It does kill all known germs dead, you know !!!

Remember posting once that bleach to clean, replenish 50/50 mix and add an egg cup full of brake fluid, to protect the insides of the pipes and waterpump bearing... know what you mean though!
