I stuck the end of a pressure washer in mine and blasted the junk out of it, worked pretty well you could try that.

If that doesn't work you could check your local auto parts stores like napa, schucks etc.. maybe ebay or a junkyard even.

i took it to the car wash and used the pressure washer

.....at the time i had to replace the water pump and it sealed fine but now i think the intake gasket is leaking, any ideas on how long that will take?
