introducing a new chemical might have secondary effects, but alchol is what
we have now so that might be best.

But heating the engine and blowing air through might be the best bet for
removing averything.  Dont have to boil it off, just warm it up good and
increase the evaporation action.

But perhaps simple is best.  Plug the holes and put the coolant back in?
