i filled it up about half way with some sort of parts cleaner and shut the entries, then shook it for a few minutes. Afterwards you'll have to let it drain completely and long enough, so that there is no mor cleaner left!

Take it to a good radiator repair shop and have them sonic clean it out 2-3 times. Then rinse with light solution of simple green a few times, then distilled water.

Once you are done flush with a couple bottles of oil and change your oil right away a few times.
