Engine flush only works on a well maintained engine Posted by SWEDECAR [Email] ![]() ![]() ![]() In Reply to: Re: Engine failure preventive maintenance, Dick in Falls Church, Sat, 6 Dec 2003 11:42:43 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
And in those cases it's not needed except to lighten your wallet.
On the engine that I have on my website I tried 3 flushes to see what could be done to save it.
It was tons of dirt coming out the first 2 flushes and a lot less the third flush.
Still when opening up the engine, the amount of dirt and sludge still in there was huge.
So even if you have a light load of sludge in the engine, this magic flushes doesn't go in and whisk around all the walls, nooks and crannies, but just remove what it can find on its trickely way out to the drain hole.
And it doesn't manage to push its way through the teeh of the oil pump and backwards through the oil pick up screen, so the screen is still plugged.
Removing valve cover, oil pan, oil pump and reducer valve is a minimum of a sludged up engine for clean out.
