I really think I need to flush my engine out. I have the feeling it has a lot of sludge in it. I've changed the oil once with cheap oil to clean things out a bit, but I'd like to do more. I know Gunk makes an engine flush. Has anyone used something like this? Any tips?
Once I flush the engine I plan to remove the sump and see what I find. Every once in a while I get a noise (sounds just like a conventional sticking pushrod lifter, just one). It will tick for maybe 15 seconds and then all is quite again. It's not a bad timing chain kind of noise. Like I said, it hasn't done it often (2-3 times), but it makes me think there's a lot of crap in the motor.
