Thanks guys for all the advice,

I think I might just replace all the hoses again, anyway. I know that the reservoir hose is OEM, but the others could be suspect - when I replaced them it was on a semi-emergency basis and I didn't have the option at the time of waiting for the highest quality materials. It seems like a generally sound insurance policy! And I'm not so happy with the second radiator I put in, either - I believe it's a CSX or something like that, and it definitely doesn't fit as well as the Nissens which I put in before. But I had limited options at the time - stranded in a parking lot, I could either pay $200 to have it towed to someone who knew what they were doing, and then pay tons more for parts and labor, or jump in a friend's car to the nearest radiator shop, drop $200 for the part, and do a self-install in the parking lot.

If the specks are still there after I replace and flush, I'll post back for more opinions. Maybe the radiator is as rough on the inside as it is on the outside.
