Hedd, would the dilute brick acid just be taking away barsleak type and egg white substances, or do you think it will be taking away some structural radiator?! i.e. could one re-implement the bunger-uppers afterward and hope it might re-seal?

Unless it has inhibitors it will take away good metal, but slowly.
In my other hobby I build pressure vessels out of gurt thick bits of steel, drill loads of holes in them, then rivet together. Initial fill results in lots of leaks. The pee in it, and leave to fester approach fixes many of them. The expansive force of the corrosion products does the sealing.
Put descaler in them and they leak!
