That stuff is just evil. Some heater cores have smaller passages than radiators. I'd be prepared for another flush - maybe even just the core through the heater hoses and with a cleaning agent or vinegar or something. If the drain/refill process doesn't do the job...

Good luck,

I would also suggest reverse flushing the heater core, it often helps clear blockages.
