Hey guys,

I am getting ready to clean up the short block (Head Gasket Project) and I am having trouble finding the information about flushing the crap out of the block.

I have thought about pulling the oil pan(i have 2wd) and doing an oil pump as well -- not sure yet -- back to the question - how do you guys flush it all out, i mean i have all kinds of crap in my oil pan don't I? Can I use my hose and push water through, would that be enough?

Anyone else who has done their HG's -=- Did you flush the radiator(professionally) as well?

No answers?

There should be a drain plug so in theory you could just open the drain plug and go to town with a hose. Also, you might as well pull the oil pan and make sure there is nothing in it.

 

i haven't looked yet, but do you know where this drain is located?

 

If your going through that much trouble I'd replace the seal on the oil pan.

never flushed a block but brake cleaner works great on grease ... carb cleaner same thing. probably a better product out there for cleaning engine parts

 

It's right beside the motor mount, one on each side IIRC on the 3VZ-E.

 

awesome, thanks goat!
