This is really frustrating
maybe a pressurized full chem flush is in order (or reverse flush).

I have the champion 3 core and it needed the e fan to be upgraded. I bought a hipo (not extreme) 16in spal and it worked great.

I think I am going to do a chem flush. In the past it worked pretty well for me, let's hope for similar results. Gosh I wish my pop had the block boiled when it was his car and he had the motor out....
