It means you take it to a radiator shop, hand it to them, and
say, "rod this out, please".   :-)


They actually take the rad apart and shove a metal rod thru it to
physically remove the crud.  In my case it was black gooey crud
not white.  




It made a HUGE difference where the temp gauge needle sits.
