bitterbillybitchcakes Posted July 7, 2009 Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 hi everyone 99 banshee 410 power valve I just had my engine rebuild, top and bottom end (by what i thought was a reputable shop) I peeked inside the cylinders and i noticed it was so freaking dirty I pulled the spark plugs and the tops of the piston are just coated with sand ,dirt ,hair, etc. what a good way to flush my engine? can i use gas or is there something better?is it safe on the seals ? my plan was to flush the top end through the exhaust (engine upside down) and flush the bottom end through the intake. I also want to flush the transmission out too since I'm flushing it, it's going to flush the oil out can I just pour some straight pre-mix in and shake it around to coat the top and bottom end for when I break the motor it in? thanks a lot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isaac_62 Posted July 7, 2009 Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 It could be just me. But i dont think flushing is a good idea. I would tear off the topend and clean everything. Then split the cases and clean all of that too.. Its easy to do and wont take more than a day. all u will need is new gaskets... just my .02 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbooker82 Posted July 7, 2009 Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 Flushing the engine could make things worse. You might end up just washing the sand and dirt into the crank bearings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bitterbillybitchcakes Posted July 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 well I decided to sell my engine for scrap metal j/k I talked to the owner and he said he's going to take care of it I am a little worried though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

okbeast Posted July 8, 2009 Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 Well if what he already did was "taking care of it" then you're screwed. Tell him to screw off and you want your money back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spurdy Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 well I decided to sell my engine for scrap metal j/k I talked to the owner and he said he's going to take care of it I am a little worried though I would definitely be a little skeptical about letting them work on my stuff again. If they didn't do it right the first time why would they do it right the second. Kinda like sending food back at a restaurant, they sometimes spit in your food. Money back in my pocket for my time and inconvenience and I'll do the work myself and know it is done right! Just my 2 cents. SP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
