Re: rusty block
Radiator flush would be your best bet! Lots of it.
Once it is cleaned out put antifreeze/water mixture in

Re: rusty block
pull top & bottom radiator hoses, flush with garden hose till run clear
pull hoses from water pump, flush with garden hose till run clear
make sure therostat is clean
pull hoses from head, flush with garden hose till run clear.
once clean, refill ONLY with G11/G12 coolant & distilled (or at least boiled) water .
Do NOT use the cheap yellow/green/pink coolant available from spares shops!
