The tan looking sludge is emulsified oil. There's moisture in it. It may just be due to the car sitting for so long. If you're not losing coolant then you're golden.

[@DeeperImageAutomotive]

The PCC issue can sometimes be resolved once the air bleeds out of the system from driving it, could also be tied to the clock spring issue. If the problem persists after, I had the PCC issue with my 12C and did the typical replacing of the accumulators, that didn't fix it, so then I replaced the APMU (Hydraulic pump), that didn't fix it. Many hours later, a simple bypass of the hydraulic reservoir sensor with a piece of wire I had laying around solved the issue. The sensor in that reservoir tank can fail, I didn't want to deal with ordering one, so just did the DIY bypass and the car worked flawlessly after, PCC error gone! Awesome video as always, and can't wait to see this beautiful 650S back on the road!

[@TheInja]

Interesting! Thanks for the info based on your real experience! I'll get that spring replaced and do the SAS recalibration, and see what happens!

[@staffs964]

It's a tad old school, and I haven't researched this for your car, but have you tried disconnecting the positive batt term and shorting it to the negative directly? Do it for around 20 seconds, and it should flatline all the modules back to the factory.

[@samfazers8818]

😂 yes it could do or it could completely fry it do it on the chip directly is better

[@TheInja]

It's a lithium ion battery so it would probably just damage the battery pack. 😅

[@staffs964]

@@TheInja how? Ok take the negative off the batt and just hold the two together. All it’s doing is discharging any residual charge in the electronics. Generally the worst case is, it may need a code input when reconnected. Naturally I would confirm it’s safe by someone with more experience with these cars.

[@jakereal3604]

I knew you'd get this build going, your determination is very admirable and always positive demeanor second to none! But I had no doubt you could do this. I've always found that if I really put my mind to doing something, I always reached me goal! My grandfather used to say "Life is 99% perspiration and 1% inspiration! Work hard, work smart and get it done. I'm so happy for you bro! It really is coming around and I think the oil flush was a good idea. It can't hurt really so ...... WHY NOT right? I noticed too the subsequent start ups sound much much faster, better and proper. Keep up the great work in True INJA style Bro. Your fan from NYC

Thanks he was a great man. Lived through the Wars 1 and 2 the Great Depression was only educated till 6 grade as he needed to help family. He’s dad passed very young. Later became self taught and well read! Damn I came back to find a lot of critic. Simple thing if people don’t like your channel don’t watch it! You run it now you want. I’m into Ebiking and I click on some reviews and the person is as charismatic as a lamp post lololol I then switch to one I like. No neg critic to give. Just be you bro. This cars needed a boat load of parts and TLC. The only project going on where the guys even more devoted is Tavarish with his Flooded McClaren. It’s crazy how he strips it down like it’s an 80s Civic. You’d never know it’s such a high dollar car

the peanut butter most likely from condensation from sitting.

Hoping so. Thanks for some reassurance! 👊🏽

[@StephenDMullins]

Yep, seen that before.

[@fieldie]

Me too! All these people saying things like head gasket leak or stuff like that, yeh are being caring, but honestly it's fine! That original oil before was absolutely the worst, just a couple of engine flushes and you will be fine, you will be surprised actually how Little water it takes to make old oil milky, what you had there was probably a drop or two of condensation in the engine, the filter caught it, and you replaced the oil and filter anyways, so you're fine, just go easy on it for at least the first 50 to 100 miles, then do another oil and filter swap, and that engine will be perfect!

[@fieldie]

But yeh, still do them spark plugs as soon as you can, yeh they are a pig to get too, but soooo worth it! I bet the gaps on them are huge! Going by its lack of service history lol

[@TheInja]

@@fieldie 1000%! Thanks brother! Great tips. 👊🏽

[@essamallawi9605]

Great job man! Honestly the oil didn't look too bad. When flushing an engine oil WILL come out darker, because the flush breaks down all the gunk and carbon buildup inside the engine. And that little bit of milky oil that came out of the filter might be just condensation from the engine. Engines do suck in some moisture through the air intake. Not much to worry about

[@TheInja]

Appreciate it. Seems like it's a runner to me!

Hi just wanting to ask ?? Isn't the engine a dry sump setup with most of the oil in a tank??? Maybe I've been missing something in the way you're filling it with oil.. I've seen you drain from the engine but not the dry sump tank which actually holds most of the oil??? Other than that been enjoying your build progress on this one and have watched your channel from the early days of motorbike purchases ... Keep at it they're great to watch,

Did you try closing all the doors and the hood, lock then unlock them but leave them closed. Then pop the gas cover?

[@rockk4six]

[@alfonzobonzo3020]

[@glennarnold3970]

Inja you could try the mercedes on your scan tool as mclaren where renound for using mercedes modules also when manual bleeding start with the rear oposite to your steering wheel then the other rear then oposite front then drivers front start up smoke can be caused from over fill of oil in dry sump cars so recheck when engine is hot to check the turbo's see if there is any wiggle in the turbo shafts or check the inlet hose to the throttle body's for oil but usually over filled oil and it only has to be by a couple hundred mils the milky spot in your oil filter housing will be from condensation from sitting the coolant air purge you should jack the front of the car up and then use a vacuum bleeder for the coolant matt armstrong has a video on his mclaren but good to see you getting there with yours cheers from down under

[@TheRealAlpha2]

Thankfully it sounds like a healthy McLaren so far. The codes sounds like they're going to be expensive to fix some of them but I'm sure it'll be worth it in the end... just remember after sitting for so long, these engines maybe so powerful they can hurt themselves (according to Tavarish's blown engine experience) Until you get upgraded rods and stuff.
