Thats what the oil filter is for.

 

good enough..........

 

So I would run that stuff through with the old oil, then change the oil ?

 

Yes, or you could change the oil, run a can of seafoam in it for a signifigant amount of time, then change it, run it a few hundred miles with the new oil, then change it again, that should really clean the heck out of it.

 

alright, will do that, because the oil in it is over due for a change lol
gonna go change it now, bye for now .... thanks for the help

Do your own research, but I have used this stuff before. It work very well for me and I have used it in several vehicles. You have to follow the directions to the letter, but it works.

that's what cause's that build up NOT CHANGING YER DANG ERL(OIL'S OIL)LOL

 

I like to see someone take a motor with 200,00 miles that has a bad sludge problem take a pic of the valve covers and oil pan put it all together and use some of that sea foam in it. use it a few times and then take it apart and see what it did..........

my brother had a 2.9 out of a ranger I gave him and the sludge was so bad in the lifter valley that he stuck a long screwdriver in it and it stood up straight (he has a pic on a photo site but it's down).....the oil pan was the same way and so was the valve covers. there is no way i would put anything into a motor that would loosen all the sludge up while I was running it. He took it apart and pressure washed it put new rod and main bearings along with a oil pump and he has been driving it for the past few years......just can't see loosening up all that built up stuff in the engine just leave it where it is, it's not hurting a thing. Plus there is a good chance that stuff is holding chunks of valve seals from getting into the oil sump. I have never seen any good coming from running any kind of cleaner thru an engine you need to keep it clean to begin with......

If you try and clean it make sure you have a good working oil pressure gauge and keep your eye on it...oil filters will clog fast and leave you with no pressure........


hey try this clean the valve covers and take all the sludge and mix it into a pail with some oil....nice stuff.....now dump it into your motor.

If it's not broke don't fix it........

My 2 cents...OK I'm done.......Sorry......

 

hmmm ..... not true

my f350's engine failed due to that sludge crap so dont just say leave it where it is

I didnt put anything in there to loosen it up, and now I aint got no truck to drive,

when we took it apart you could stand the lifter rods up like flag poles in the stuff..............

 

how many mile were on it and what caused it to stop working for you? it takes a lot of time to build that much up inside a motor.

they do wear out.

Sucks for you though......

so do you think it would have lasted any longer if you had put something inside it to loosen that sludge up?

The only way to clean that kind of build up is to take the valve covers, intake, oil pan off and steam clean it.

 

If you didnt read the very first post, Ill remind you.........
I j u s t b o u g h t i t! on may 16
haven't driven farther than the end of the lane and back, so any missed oil changes I had no control over k, mister all caps ? LOL


I'm putting plates on it today

 

welll .... the miles are surprizingly low don't know off hand, BUT..... it's an ex city truck seats 6 (sleeps 4) haha, Hours upon hours of idling I guess

I think it would have lasted alot longer if that crap wasnt in it, but the motor im tryin to clean out now doesn't have chunks like the truck had

 

well i guess i wont be putting that stuff in the next motor ...... blew this one too :S

 

You have bad luck my friend..... :\
My dad used to use the kerosine trick back in the day every other oil change for the life of the engine, and when hed take em apart they'd look brand new.... But then that was the entire life of the engine...sooo I guess thats different....Just my spare change in thoughts.....

i did the deisel trick to my 68 f250 w/ a 360 ci., and afterwords, there was some nasty lookin oil comin out of the drain plug. but it runs like a top now. so i guess that cleaned something out.

its been pretty much a daily driver for about 2 months, and i havent had a problem with it.
