My vr6 engine sat for years and rust has formed in the engine blocks water passages. Ive flushed it twice with Prestone cooling system flush, following there instructions of course. After a short amount of time the coolant turns brown, from the rust still left inside the block. Ive done a google search. and have turned up a few results, heres one -
http://www.evapo-rust.com/. Prestone also makes another flush for "neglected cooling systems".
I was wondering what you guys would recommend to fix it?
The water pump went this week so the
motor has to come out to replace the pump. I'm concerned, if I don't fix the problem the new pump will fail prematurely. Money is tight so I prefer to not tear down the engine. Ideally another flush product would be better- as I could use the leaking, but still functioning (

) water pump to circulate the flush before the engine removal.
Any thoughts?
