Flush it as much and in as many was as you have time an patience to do. Have you seen the write-ups in the Tech folder?
If not click here --> https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/3...ch-folder.html
Be sure you are measuring correctly also.
Good luck with it and welcome to FTE!

If your delta is higher than the max specified, what do you have to lose doing either or both. The alternative is a tear down either way.
