That's what I did when I had to flush the Delo out of the Excursion due to length of time, a couple years ago. I just drained it and flushed with distilled a few times and refilled with more Delo ELC.

Excellent info and news!

I spend $32 on Final Charge full concentrate at O’Reilly and it’ll be good to get the same thing at below half price!

Especially since I need to re-do my head gaskets and flush the cooling system all over again.

 

Arrgh.

“Especially since I need to re-do my head gaskets and flush the cooling system all over again.”

Why do you think the first went sideways?

 

They weren’t torqued down properly.

I put a properly calibrated torque wrench to it last July while I had the injectors out and found quite a few inconsistent values. 180 ft/lbs here, 200 ft/lbs there, and a few were close to the 210 ft/lb spec, but it was all over the place, so now it has to be redone.

Once I get the cash and parts together, I’m taking it to a buddy’s shop, pulling the engine, and doing it myself, so I know everything is done correctly and to my satisfaction.

 

Thanks, just wondering.

 

I liked your other reply better, lol

It perfectly explains why Ford uses that method compared to the torque spec method.

I wish ARP offered something like that to make 100% certain you reached the correct and accurate torque on every stud every time.

I'll PM you, but back on topic...

 

I delete a lot of things I’ve written after 5 minutes of reflection, my rambling can be tedious. Thought I cleared it before anyone saw it.

It’s midnight, I leave with this. Having a career in friction to me this is important. These guys make squirt washers.
