Since my last post I've been rinsing out the inside of the block. Rinsing is becoming cleaner each time. I've rinsed out the heater core & the radiator. Took the top & bottom hoses off & cleaned them. The spring in the lower hose was rusty but still usable. I took out the thermostat, blocked the heater hose connections on the engine & blocked the water pump where the bottom radiator hose goes. Tuesday about noon I filled the block with Evaporust. It's been sitting since. The positive side is I don't see anything dripping. Later today I will drain it off, strain it & possible return it to the block. I'll see what it looks like after draining.....Joe
