The next thing will be getting my beat up old radiator re-cored.

PS I just noticed that the vinegar I bought at Costco is only 5% acid. Its not working very well.
I had to run the vinegar for 30 days to get the rust flakes out of my system, and even then I used a sump pump to back flush the block and radiator and got out some more junk. If I ever have to do this again I will use Evaporust.
