DO NOT use a HD comercial radiator flush as it will cause more hose connection leaks and radiator leaks.
Good luck, Usually the first time you do the oil cooler seals is just practice  .

John and all,
I just bought "Prestone Super Radiator Flush", little yellow bottle, in preparation to replace the thermostat, figured I'd flush while I am in there. Then I saw your comment above, to NOT use a commercial flush.
How big is the risk, I hear you saying that this stuff can cause leaks!!!! Ouch, can you elaborate please? Thanks!
