Oil in coolant. Removal?
Doing the head gasket on my 924. What is the best (easiest) way to remove the oily sludge build up from the coolant system once it is all back together?

Little mice with little tooth brushes!
I used a coolant flush two times. Had suggestions of liquid dish soap. Still get a light film/scum after four or five flushes and a new radiator.

As long as you are running cool, enjoy the extra waterpump lubrication.

Just hope that the head gasket was the problem and not a crack somewhere deep in the block or head.

Don't normaly see a cracked head or cylinder unless there is a piston/rod failure. Just blows the head gasket.
But I think you want to do the oil cooler seals too.

i would much rather have oil in the cooling system than soap.

This is a 924 not a 944. 1979 model year. Does not have oil cooler.
