2nd engine flush with diesel

I have brought motors back from the dead with multiple flushes. I have fixed stuck lifters and stuck rings. The engine has gone from being caked with deposits to being able to see the metal with just a thin film of brown. For the oil flush naysayers, I have seen dramatic results on multiple high mileage and very neglected cars. When it gets to a certain point, I remove the pan and valve covers to physically clean whatever I can access. Running a little bit of ATF or diesel in the crankcase oil keeps cleaning as you drive the car.

I have the same car with the same engine and my wife uses it, so she forgot to remind me of the oil change for about 20k km the recommended oil is 20W-50 so sludge were everywhere, the car started smoking like a chimney. I did an oil change with seafoam two times and changed the valve covers as it have channels inside it where the sludge accumulates and change the pcv with all the hoses related to the valve cover, the engine was restored successfully as brand new after few oil changes with short intervals

[@donaldardell5742]

Right before you change the oil again, try some Berryman's B12 Chemtool as a flush? It's an aggressive solvent like acentone, and I've had great luck with it. It stopped a lifter tick in a 280K 2004 Yukon 5.3 V8, and after I flush my 2006 4.2 I6 Atlas/Vortec Trailblazer the oil stays clean for 3,000 miles. Even the oil in my 2.9 Deere Powertech diesel remains clean for 10-12 hours of hard use at full throttle. Basically, start the engine cold, and slowly pour in a $5 pint of Chemtool and let it idle for 30 minutes without driving it or putting it under any load. Immediately drain the oil, it'll stink and be full of carbon and varnish. The crankcase will be perfectly clean.

[@IntegraDIY]

The engine internals are getting cleaner and cleaner, would be cool to continue this series until it’s all metallic inside. Would be interesting to see if SeaFoam would work too? And test other brands 🤔

[@partsshooter]

@IntegraDIY would be interesting to continue. Maybe one day I'll get an actual donor vehicle I can drive and easily remove the valve cover. Something will come up in the future though, I'll think of something. Also, seafoam doesn't work well with flushing. I'll find some way of testing in the future. Depending on how this video performs, I'll do an update video with an additional flush in the future, maybe just try a seafoam flush before diesel. I'll talk to the owner about this. Thing is, you'll have folks saying the seafoam was the foundation for diesel success when the diesel work!

Sad the engine was so neglected. Great job doing best you can managing a bad situation. Like you said, the damage has been done. Seems with sludge particles coming off with diesel and trans fluid, that filter media would clog quickly and remaining fluid bypasses filter after that? Maybe should just change oil every 500 miles until engine is clean?

[@danielbruneau2222]

Personally adding this much diesel to do a flush is too aggressive for me. I don't think it will damage the engine but I think more cleaning is done at 2-3000 rpm. To be more conservative I would add one or two liters of diesel before draining the oil.and letting it idle for a hour. I would add an engine cleaner to the fresh oil and just change the oil more often. Trying to do 4 quick oil changes in 100 to 2000 mile increments; adding a few liters of diesel when it is parked and idling before draining the oil. It seems like Valvoline restore is a good product but it is not sold in my area yet.

[@MrCountrycuz]

Do you want your engine to have eternal life of the top cylinder? add one ounce of quality two stroke oil for each 5 gallons of gasoline in the tank. This will reduce friction in the top cylinder as well as seal the valves better and protect your tank and fuel lines and injectors.

[@1942rejw]

I am wondering what effect will over filling the engine with diesel and oil mixture have on the catalytic converter and the muffler.

[@partsshooter]

@1942rejw non on the short term. Catalytic converters are only compromised when there's extremely rich conditions. Meaning, prolong driving on misfires when raw fuel is being dumped into exhaust, stuck open injector, really bad MAF or ECT causing overwhelming rich conditions. I'm sure you get the gist here. But cool temps cause the furnace, heating temps to reduce, carbon to accumulate and it's efficiency to fail. So short term, nothing. To go a bit further. In the video you see the car fuel trims compensate the rich running conditions, should be touched on in the video. But if not, the fuel trims back of to run ideal, this is due to compensation the ecm can make to optimize running

Many of the areas with sludge are not "critical engine parts". They are not the moving or contact areas of the engine. The damage is already done. This is now a car where you have to monitor the oil lever every 1000 miles and add accordingly and since fresh oil will be continually added it might be beast to extend the change interval to the life of the oil filter. 10k miles.

I'd sure be interested to see some motor oil lab analysis of the sludge, followed by the flush, followed by the first oil change, etc., to see if there is any damage being done during the flush process or as a result of it, and whether that damage is worse than the damage being done by the sludgy old oil. That might quiet down some of the guys claiming you are harming the engine, risking destroying bearings, etc. And, to those guys I would also ask, "okay, how would you address this problem if a customer showed up with a car that had been neglected like that?" My instinct would be to come up with a short waiver for customers to sign if they want me to try flushing their engines to try to deal with their neglect.

[@partsshooter]

@jglassman1122 oil gets introduced during rotation of the engine through the piston rings. The rings aren't seated properly due to a couple of reasons. One is worn or stuck piston oil rings, which is supposed to keep oil from bypassing and being introduced into the combustion process, but it do. Two, the cylinder walls are worn, glazed and loss it's cross hatches preventing poison rings to seat properly. Others can be valve seals or not in my case, pcv or excessive blowby. There can be a partial combination of all of the above, with the rings being mostly the culprit. But typically, the pistons and rings are the issue most of all cases I've dealt with. I do have a video with an engine with excessive blowby, causing oil consumption accompanied with a misfire, I'll post link below, in this case the car would've thrown misfire code but in video above, the consumption is gradual, so much so it doesn't interfere or threaten the proper combustion process

Direct injection injectors are almost as noisy as common rail diesel injectors. 😅 I have a diesel and the first thing you hear with the hood open and the covers off is the injectors ticking away. Going from factory spec 0w20 to 5w30 is a good idea on an engine that's already been hurt and that is starting to burn oil. Most people adhere to factory viscosity like their life depended on it but oil viscosity is a spectrum and you have to make an educated guess on what is really the best for the specific engine in front of you. Ofc dumping 10w40 truck diesel oil in a 0w20 engine is counterproductive but I think 5w30 given the history and condition of this engine is better then 0w20.

[@glennchartrand5411]

With that much sludge , it's probably an intake valve leaking oil.

[@ronobrien7187]

You use diesel instead of gasoline for the flush because diesel has some lubricity whereas gasoline does not. Gasoline would damage bearings, rings, pistons, cylinder walls, etc.

That ticking noise I’m hearing can’t be good

[@quieropoder]

You must, I say it🤣 loudly, drop the oil pan🤷🏿‍♂️ otherwise it’s going to take a lot of coming back.

[@partsshooter]

We voted on it...The oil pan stays sir🤠🤠😤😤😤

[@quieropoder]

Ok but remnants of the entire deal will just sit at the bottom of the pan🤷🏿‍♂️ and be sucked up by clean oil.

Thanks John, now go get 200k of your friends to join 😆. Thanks in advance

Id be worried about the valve seals because , I did a flush once and it hardened the valve seals so bad. I was consuming oil at 1qt 300 miles

[@partsshooter]

@tooththrhr by your logic diesel injector seals, crank seal or any oil seals on diesel should fail all day everyday, due to contamination from diesel. This doesn't happen. Diesel doesn't damage valve seals which are made of same materials of engine seals in general. To add... what you think the diesel filter seal is made of? Rubber... those don't degraded rapidly as you'd imagine now do it?

[@tooththrhr]

@partsshooter I was not aware of the compatibility between diesel and rubber. I wish I knew about it before I used a commercially available engine flush and ruined my top end

[@Bernard-ux2eb]

Just use Royal Purple engine oil from now on.

[@lewcrowley3710]

Every 3-4 oil changes, I put in a half quart of tranny fluid in before the change. A good 15-20 miles 'tune up' and change oil/filter. Dipstick on 2008 highlander 3.3L is so clean I can hardly read it. Putting diesel fuel in a crankcase? Never.

[@HuskerRed11]

What kind of vehicle? What motor, & what brand of transmission fluid?

[@I2383R]

Think you would be better off taking the pan off and cleaning tgat gunk off from below as it won't clean it self of,the top of the engine look good.

[@partsshooter]

@@I2383R I explain this in video

[@hannesdobbelaere]

if it's a diesel engine, i wouldn't risk putting diesel in the engine. i'd be affraid the engine would run away and blow itself up. but i this case, a gas engine , and just idling seems just fine.

[@irishjoe9195]

Sup Shooter! Good sir!!

[@dangerdavefreestyle]

its almost like you want to run the diesel through the engine without running the engine, and youre going to give yourself carpal tunnel with that oil filter. i think theres wear and tear running cam lobes on a heavy solvent or detergent. want to soak everything, steam clean the walls, and pump the oil at high speed.

[@partsshooter]

@dangerdavefreestyle sir.... I train my wrist everyday at preferred times, no way I'm heading that direction getting carpal tunnel 🤣🤣🤣

[@brandonsmith3447]

Try not to get too caught up in the dips that feel they must comment their ignorant opinions on yt. Personally I couldn’t imagine having a channel where these goons feel the need to comment with their half brain antics. Keep up the good work.

[@stefanpuffer]

Next time use three gallons of diesel.

[@michaelbachman5575]

The dirt left after flush is carbon It won't come of with petroleum products It's pr9bly beneficial

[@PurpleDreki]

Foolishness. Great way to damage the piston rings a score up the bores. All of the metal surfaces inside the engine can be permanently damaged.
