Cleaned out the degas

Ford also sells a quart bottle of cast iron block cleaner that will get everything out of your coolant passages. Flushing is just a long and nasty process that you are going to have to do. Hope this helps
filled it in the kitchen sink with plenty of dawn and hot water, shook it all up and left it over night. clean and now i am going to do the simple green, pull block plugs, buy all new hoses and see what transpires.

The problem is if you didn't replace the oil cooler after you found the oil in the coolant you will not get the oil out because the oil cooler is still leaking oil into the coolant system.
