Just a post script note: I asked my radiator shop to test my heater core,
and they told me it was rusted completely shut, but hey they could get me a
replacement through a special vendor for about $650. I was of course
drooling with gratitude.
Well, maybe not.
Hmmmm. I took the heater core home, held a garden hose to the inlet pipe
and voila! the thing flushed slowly at first, then completely and is
completely free, clean and fine.
I try to be a positive guy, but I have a hard time believing this was an
honest mistake.
