mickytrus Posted July 3, 2004 Share Posted July 3, 2004 Why are you interested in flushing the inside of the motor........? I have heard alot of differing views on this...... the one I stand behind is this: the tolerances in a motor are very small... only several thousanths of an inch on moving parts...... Varnish inside the motor will actually fill spaces that are small ..... and varnish can actually fill in worn spaces on bearings..... because we are talking thousandths of an inch here.... so these flushes can actually remove these deposits(this varnish) that you would not necessarily want to remove... So I would say not to flush the motor with anything.... just be faithful to change the oil frequently...... micky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
