Today I'll be getting a few gallons of distilled dropped off to flush out what's left after the other 'cleaning' flushes, maybe pull the radiator if it makes life easier.
I have heard of shops having a machine that is placed within the cooling circuit to clean out vehicles that have experienced this problem. It just has filters and separators to clean out the cooling circuit and they work well.

I just do not know what it is called or what shops have them. The ELRING brand makes gaskets out of ACM material which is what DUPONT Viton brand is made from.
