I removed the radiator from my 74 midget after determining that its clogged to the point of needing to get it recored.  But waht i see now is that there is rust pieces in the thermostat hole in the engine and the heater unit also seems rust filled as does the heater return pipe.

I am concerned about getting the radiator recored and then 6 months later having it reclogged.

my plan so far is to still have the radiator recored and have the heater unit sonnicated and flushed, and replacing the copper heater return pipe either from victoria british or by using copper pipe.

How do i get the rust out/ clean the engine block?

What would you do? any other suggestions or things to pay attention to?

Although i don't want to I know I can just remove the heater entirely but living in eastern PA a heater helps.
