[AT] Rust scales in block - Help???

[Dean VP]

When I pulled the Upper Water Pipe assembly off of my 1953 60 there was a
bunch of long slivers of rust scale that dropped into the block cavity. Must
have broken loose off the inside of the pipe. These were maybe an inch wide
by two to three inches. I removed those that didn't fall all the way into
the block cooling chamber. Now I'm concerned about those that did fall in.
They are big enough to block some passages. 

Anyone have any suggestions on how to get these back out? Blow up through
the head drain plug?  Try to grab them with a tool of some sort?  Soak the
block cooling chamber in some kind of chemical to dissolve them? Turn the
tractor upside down? :-)  I sure as heck don't want to take the head and
block off of this thing just for this problem. The tractor runs too good. I
don't need to get into the guts of this thing. 

HelP????
