These pictures were taken after 100+ flushes and head stud, coolant and egr cooler replacement. At which time my ect/eot were only 3-5* then started creeping up to 10-15*. so decided to do a backflush of entire system.This is the initial drain of coolant[/IMG][/IMG]This is back flushing the oil cooler[/IMG]These are pics of coolant filter and the debris that came out of it.

100+ flushes, now that's a lot of flushes.

 

Yep I wanted to make sure I got it as clean as I could but as you can see I am still getting s#@t out of it. If I had it to do over I don't think I would do the chemical flushes I would just flush with distilled water only. The only thing that made it easier was installing fumoto valves for the block drain plugs. I will continue to flush every 1k or so until I have clean coolant come out.

 

dang! btw how do you do a backflush on the oil cooler

 

Here is a link to nylyons' "reverse flushing" technique. http://home.comcast.net/~lyon.family...ush%20v1-0.pdf
I am currently do this as we speak. I would like to get my temps back down to the 3-5 that they were after top end work was done. but I am afraid I will have to install another oil cooler to get that result again.

 

What is the make and number of the spinon filter? Trying to locate waterfilters in Sweden... Tia

 

What type of coolant are you using?

BTW my 05 has only seen distilled water coolant flushs since I only get just a few sand particles out when I first open the radiater drain plug.

 

look towards the radiator for the source of contamination.try flushing only the radiator in a clean bucket a couple times,i think youll be surprised at what you get out of it.

 

Brian,
How many miles do you have on your truck? I know Ford recommends doing the initail flush for the P/S's at 105k.
Get's me concerned after only 60k on mine.

 

I am using Baldwin B5134. I bought a kit from defuser and it came with 3 filters.

I am using Cat EC-1 coolant.



I had the radiator rodded (it was 30% plugged) last August when I did all the work to this also installed new oil cooler, egr cooler, heater core, water pump, and replaced all hoses. I also did about 100 fluses with restor and restor plus before starting the project and could never get 100% clean water (hose and distilled) out. 90% of the sand I am getting out of this engine is coming out of the block drain plugs.

I bought this truck a year ago with 104k and did this work at 110k and now flushed at 111k.
