These pictures say it all. After over an hour of flushing the block, including physically breaking open the clogs from the rear block screw-in plug, this is what the residue looked like when the water dried. I won't tell you how it felt when the plug let go in my face...let's just say that when Lacey's incontinent...she's REALLY incontinent.
Jack's take: The Trail of Tears...looks, to the casual observer, like a trail of rust...but this is actually the trail of tears of neglect shed by Lacey's engine block and heater core.
All this time, we 
thought she was just stubborn - resisting every effort to remove every rusted, neglected fastener - now we can see she actually was crying for help: "my block is clogged with rust and I've got a blown head gasket!" - she is now being much more cooperative - I have removed the intake and exhaust manifolds without encountering a single stubborn fastener - keep your fingers crossed and hope this continues through water pump housing and head removal this week.
