Coolant flush with Zerex/etc a good idea?

Hi All,
I recently changed the head gasket on an ’86 9kT and noticed that do to poor cooling system maintenance the old coolant was in bad shape and there was a decent amount of brown “crud” in the coolant passages of the head. Now that the engine is reassembled would it be worth while to use a coolant flush like those under the Zerex or Prestone brand names? Any better options or side effects to watch out for?
Similarly, on my ’87 9kT, which has had good cooling system maintenance, the radiator cannot keep up with the car while cruising on hot days, sometime getting near the red despite good coolant and new 82 degree t-stat. I assume it must be the radiator. Could one of these products help this situation?
Thanks!
Craig
