Kerosene To Flush Engine?

[EPKixAss]

I called Checker and asked how much a good engine flush kit would be. He told me that if I drain oil and change filter, then add one quart oil and fill the rest with kerosene and run for 5-10 minutes (not revving it) and then drain it, it will do the same. Does this sound like BS or he knows nothing, or is it right?

Uh, I'd stick with engine flush out of the can, thank you.

[Rick_96PGT]

Definately not BS....:grin:

I have used this trick for over 20 years...

Just do like he says...DO NOT REV THE ENGINE!
Let it idle untill it begins to warm up...

Turn the engine off, drain while still warm, add Oil run again untill its a bit warmer...Drain again,change filter and fill with the oil you want to use...

NOTE:

If you plan on using Synthetic oils do the rinse with Synthetic oils...
Nothing cleans better than kerosene in an engine....:grin:

Is it advisable to drop the pan and clean off the pickup screen and clean the pan itself? or will the sludge be small enough particles to fit through the drainhole?

After the first draining, or I should say during, you can continuously pour kerosene into the engine untill it comes out clear...

Then go ahead with a normal oil/filter change....

Man Rick, I'd be giving out this advice with a disclaimer. Someone is bound to "oops" some part of the process.

How could somebody screw this up? Sounds pretty simple. I'm thinking about doing it.

You'd be amazed.

Not Rick, but as he's said, yes, it will de-carb the engine.

EEEK! So what coats the cylinder bores with the rings sliding up and down, etc. What's it do to rubber valve seals?

Apparently nothing? Are you sure? Really been doing it 20 years?

I know I use motor flush in a can which probably ain't any better, but... You sure about this?

[Rick_96PGT]

Read the label on the can...Then read the ingredients for Kerosene...Take notes....:razz:

[Rick_96PGT]

Heres a test...take some gunk from an engine...an old j-yard engine...submerse it some kerosene, wait about 20 minutes...then stir it up...watch what happens...:grin:
and this is when it isnt warm and being circulated.....

[91PGT]

so can i get a step by step directions so i odn t screw this up?

step 1? drain oil and add one court of oil and fill till full???????

then run till it gets warm

I'm guessing you should enjoy a smoke before you begin this operation?

By the way, the injector and fuel system flush liquid, also smells and looks very much like kerosine.
