- 1994 Explorer XLT
So my 1994 Explorer is full full full of carbon and sludge. I know this because I got it from family and they did a lot of, tons tons of city driving and very rarely put the hammer down.
So I have "seafoamed" it with Berrymans B12 ChemTool 2 times and ran it in the tank 3 times. Also sprayed 2 cans of carb cleaner into the throttle body. Still pretty nasty in throttle body and the intake though.
I'm thinking that a good engine flush is needed. So I have done the B12 ChemTool in the oil for 10 minutes before the oil change. Never really thought that it did to much of a good to get the inside of the engine clean. I am wanting to take this to the extreme.
I want to fill the engine up with Berrymans ChemDip
and the old oil. And I mean all the way up, like pour it to the top of the engine oil fill cap. Fill the intake up all the way too.
The only problem (well 2) that I see is this; First is i want to crank the engine while the ChemDip is in there should I be worried about hydro lock on the compression stroke? I think that ill have to pull the plugs and then crank it. Second is what about the engine seals and gaskets? I wouldn't think that too much pressure would bouid with the oil cap and the PCV valve out of it????
Anyone done this before? Or anything like it? I was also wondering if just using gasoline would do the same thing. Or maybe kerosene? ChemDip is $18.00 a gallon. Any advice is much appreciated!
