That really is the best approach. Think you will be surprised how much stuff is in there.

To make things clear; my Mercury was a good running engine so I just ran the Rust-911 solution through it three times. The only disassembly was the removal of the water pumps so I could take a look-see. I'm sure I would have done it much differently and had better results with a bare block. In the end though, my car runs right at 180 all the time. The only time I saw it higher was the time I ran about 8 miles at 80 mph and it crept up to 190.

Just by looking at the design placement of the inlets/outlets and thinking about how water flows. The rear of the flathead block will be running warmer. And more certainly deposit more stuff there.

There are quite a few positive reviews for Thermocure on the SUMMIT site.
For the $20 or so cost, I would give it try.
