Engine flushing is a procedure that is used to clean the engine of sludge and other elements that build up in various parts of the machinery over time. The main purpose of the engine flush is to prolong the life of the engine. By performing an engine flush periodically, the internal components of the engine remain relatively clean and thus perform at optimum levels. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The leaks were there. They didn't show because the sludge was blocking them. Once you did the flush, it cleared the sludge revealing the leak.

Pisces69 6th Gear March 14, 2011 Share March 14, 2011 so would you flush your engine? (mileage?) I hv no reason to do an engine flush cos when open rocker cover, I found the internals still very clean. My mileage >100K km. Maybe its more for a car been laid up for several years n the oil has already turned to sludge. Otherwise with mostly all oils sold now with detergent properties, dont see a need to flush.

Nf0rc3r 1st Gear March 14, 2011 Share March 14, 2011 Don't do engine flushes. Old engines those gathered sludge actually plug those holes that would cause leaks if the sludge was not there. Flushing would flush those sludge away causing leaks. New engines. Whats the point. Nth to clean. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
