Default How to flush acorn bits from radiator?

So, a new gremlin has appeared in my engine. Squirrels, namely their acorns. I was told the engine sat for some time with the intake off, before I bought the car. Didn't figure on the tree rats hoarding the winter stash in the water jackets....

Took the car for a spin this past weekend, and it started building heat on the interstate. I'm finding bits of acorn in the top tank of my radiator, and bits of shell looking stuff wedged in the tops of some of the tubes. It's a Champion aluminum radiator, so I can't have it rodded out. What now?
