if the problem is that the crap is coming up the breather and into the inlet then send the breather into a catch tank and block up the part on the inlet, should solve the problem | |

Engine flush thins out the oil and other crap so it gets flushed out | |

Either go into halfrauds they have something in there or just let a garage do it. Im getting a quote for fitment of 2.0l brake upgrade, oil flush + change and coolant flush + change. Leave it there over the day and pick it up later on :thumbs: | |

Or if you're worried about crap being left in the sump, drain the oil and take it off? | |

Whack some cheap 20/50 oil through mixed 2:1 with diesel. | |

Engine flush is suppose to be used just before an oil change...... so the shit shouldnt be left in the sup to cause problems. | |

I've heard on here it's a pretty bad idea. I think the reason was that some of the crap build up actually helps protect a worn engine etc :boggle: don't quote me on that though :) | |
