Ultimate sludge cleaning.

[Graham Piccinini]

Stole this from another thread, but it seems to provide results so good that it deserves a thread of it's own. I'm sure similar results are possible with MMO and/or SeaFoam in the oil, but it would take many thousands of miles. These are some amazing results for a few hours of work, just judging by the oil filter housing and the Variable timing sensor. Can't wait to see the teardown now.

I watched that vid last night. The oil sure came out black as midnight. The oil filter housing clean up was impressive.

I was waiting for this to show up here

What do we think?

What's the pricing for me to buy a "flush in a box" kit?

 

[MrQuackers]

300 bucks, what a bargain.

 

[Lubener]

Wait till an oil passage blocks with floating debris and a bearing seizes. No chemical flushes for me.

$300 I'll pass. The key to avoiding these kinds of problems imo is not to try and squeeze every last mile out of your oil and filter interval, and avoid buying cars with unknown history. That could very well solve a lot of problems, bickering, and storage space on the server of this site.

300 bucks, what a bargain.

Especially when the instructions say to do it twice which he did not.

Got a good result from 1 application.

Did he end up getting the engine to run normally after all the flushes and repairs?

I'd rather run a whole crankcase full of rislone original as a flush than any specific "flush". Better for seals too. Definitely cheaper than the BG flush kit.

Use 1/2 Quart Kreen, 500 miles before oil change. Kreen is mail order from Kano Lab. in Nashville, TN.

Dilluting the oil like that is good for the rod and main bearing salesman make his boat payment.

You are giving me bad ideas...

 

[Gene K]

Depends on whether it works. If it avoids replacing the engine it's worth it. As to the bearings, what have you got to lose?

I'm not convinced at this point.

 

[JT20]

That's nothing.

The video where the guy put LA's Awesome cleaner in the crankcase in a minivan makes this Camaro one look dumb.

And I'm not sure he fixed the car. Said it ran good for a second then it didn't. Something about the design of the Camaro engine..

 

[Rat407]

It would be cheaper to pull the engine, tear it apart clean it and put it back together.

Where was the sludge? There was minimal sludge in that engine. Anyone who has seen engines apart from the 70's early 80s knows what sludge is. You could scoop it out by the handful.

Kreen evaporates once engine gets heated, I have personal used it on a Benz with OM606 indirect diesel engine with almost 300k mi!es with great results. Have also used in Benz OM648 engine with direct injection and only 100k miles but it didn't had much improvement. The OM606 was sludged and had a morning injector knock and it was gone (used 1/2 qrt in diesel tank) By the way there is a no questions asked money back guarantee. You also get Kroil penetration aerosol free and it is the best you can buy. I have no financial interest in Karo Labs.
