I am not 100% but I think CLR will damage the Aluminium in the Rad.

I'm going to change my rad coolant next Sunday.  There has to be plenty of cleaning fluids at the local parts stores.

Remove the thermostat and back flush
the engine and radiator, water does in the top
and comes out the bottom, that should free the
engine of rust, then remove the radiator and
flush it from the bottom
