Radiator Flush Question---Help Please

Guys, I have asked questions on this forum and always got great answers. With this said my other truck 99 FTR Izusu Diesel cracked a head and it put oil in the coolant system. Do any of you know a good/safe way to flush the Radiator of the oil. I have replaced head and it runs perfect now....Thank you all in advance,

hmm, if i were you, i would replace it. the oil likes to stick to the fins and tubes inside, and i would find it pretty hard to get all of the oil out....

Are there actually fins inside Kris? I thought they would just be tubes. I would pull the radiator after flushing it and motor as best as I could, then put the soapy degreaser water rinse routine to it. I would think you could get the majority out and any remnants shouldn't really hurt. That's what I would do.
