I just got my radiator back from the shot. Should I run water through the top of the motor to flush out any trash and or bugs that may still be in the motor? I noticed that when I started draining the radiator when I was tearing things down a lot of dirt and bugs coming out in the coolant. I just dont want trash back into this rebuilt radiator or hurt it more than anything.

Yes it wouldnt be a bad idea to flush the engine with water those older cars can build alot of rust etc in the cooling system.
