Flush it with lots of water. Put the side plate back on w/new gasket, then flush again, as planned. I've had better luck using washing soda to clean the inside of an engine than with vinegar. Have the wife get a box of "Arm & Hammer" washing soda at her favorite discount store, put a cup or two in the radiator with the water-mix it up in a bucket before you dump it in the radiator, run your H until she gets up to operating temp, drain & wait overnight or until she's cold to the touch & do it again-2 or 3 times at least-you'll be able to tell when it's getting clean. You might also want to wire an old magnet from a junked speaker on the top of the radiator-position it so you can get it out-while you are doing the flushing. You'll be suprised what it will collect. (My $0.02 worth. jal-SD)
PS-added benefit of the washing soda-your wife can then use the rest of it to wash your greasy clothes, she'll like the results.
