I am pretty happy with the results, it's running as smooth as silk

Hi

I filled it with some shell DX-3 oil I got at a good price from SuperCrap and drove about 500K

The oil still looked pretty clean on the dipstick. I then added a bottle of nulon engine flush (while cold) and ran it for 10 minutes.

What came out when we drained the oil was black as the ace of spades ! This was with a very clean top end as well

Now planning to do another oil change and flush after 5K

Oh wow!

Give it a couple more go's and your motor will be as clean as a whistle.

I am viewing this exercise as a blessing in disguise. What would have happened eventually is that a rocker would have seized and probably put a valve through a piston and who knows what else

How is engine going mate and did you get to 100 pounds?

Cheers
