Well it sounds like yours must have had a bad scaling problem inside of the tubes in the radiator lietuviai, so while it appeared clean on the outside it wasn't on the inside. I believe the end tanks can be pulled and the radiator can be rodded out (run water through the opposite direction as the cleaning rods until clean).
I ended up just using a garden hose with a jet nozzle on it today to clear it out. I kept spraying at different angles until the concrete below remained clean. Perhaps this fall I'll take it out and examine its condition, if it isn't corroding badly I'll just comb the fins and clean it out very thoroughly. For now I'm sure it'll suffice and there will be no more 95-100*C temperatures which is all I was looking for. However as my car almost hit 100*C I don't recall the hearing the fan kick on so my fan clutch probably isn't any good.
