Gary, I would reverse flush the radiator; that is run water into it from the bottom and let it come out the top hose connection. I have done this by wrapping the garden hose with duct tape until it is thick enough to fit securely into the bottom hose connection. With the cap on run the water until it is clear. Doing it this way will help to dislodge stuff that has collected on the top of the tubes. If you like you can divert the water by connecting a hose to the top so water will run away from the engine. You get the idea.
