Re: Rust in coolant
Well, I tried using the magnet on the particles (very good idea BTW),
and the good news is: It's not rust. So it's probably old coolant
(silicates?), and it's coating the inside of the rad, the hoses etc.
I tried TeG's "flush" procedure, and finally the next refill was all
clear. But I know that there's still a lot of the stuff on the inside
surfaces; any way I can clean that up?
Thanks!

If it doesn't discolor the coolant, don't worry about it.
Change your coolant every two years from now on, using the same stuff every
time. This will help mitigate any ill effects from whatever goop there is
left in there.
