Re: cleaning water jacket w/out soaking etc..
I use cascade dish soap because it will not foam. First drain all the coolant, then put cascade in the radiator, fill the system back up with water and run the engine for about 15 to 20 minutes make sure the thermostats opens so the whole system is cycling. Drain and repeat till everything coming out looks clean. I'm not sure if that's what your looking for but it works for me.

pantyhose? .... catching particles?
Not sure what the objective here is. When flushing the block be sure to remove all the freeze plugs. Do not forget the bottom drain plugs too. They are at the bottom by the oil pan rail. That is where all the sediment will be.
