I use vinegar for that problem, drain the Rad. fill with vinegar, run it for an hour or so. Drain the vinegar and flush with water. I have an Oliver 77 that would run hot and I tried a number of the auto parts store flushes and none of them helped but the vinegar did and it hasn't got hot since. Its also cheaper then any thing else I have tried

I've been thinking about vinegar too. The CLR ingredient list looks to me like it's just a stronger mixture of acetic acid, but I'm not knowledgable enough in chemistry to be sure.

Do you use straight vinegar, not diluted? Just let it idle for an hour or half throttle? I have an IH that gets warmer than it should under load (plowing for instance) and does not leak so this sounds like a "plan." Thanks for the suggestion and answers.

100% vinegar let it run for an hour or so, I had some things to do when I did it and just said to heck with it I'll kill to birds with one stone and did the work with the vinegar in it. Also with the price of gas now days why not do a little work at the same time. But you can just let it sit and run or work it. I also made up an adaptor so when I flushed it out it was going in to the block at the block drain plug. Of course you need to have the engine cool.cold when you flush it out. I let the water run for about and hour with the rad cap off so it flushed it out back wards, also gave me a reason to crack open a beer LOL
