Lifter noise

[BlazerLT]

I would, do a search for engine flush seeing I gave someone a tutorial on it a week ago or so.

All their noises went away.

[chris15706]

Yeah i think im gonna try that. I have read where you told someone how to do a flush. What do you recommend for this? Marvel mystery oil?

[BlazerLT]

Just for everyone's information again, here is the Flush guide I gace to atomicpulse.

Do this before you switch to synthetic.

Ok, you are going to have to do an engine flush.

You do this just before you change your oil.

Ok, ready?

Go buy your oil and two oil filters. Yes, two.

Buy one good one, and one crappy fram filter.

Buy a bottle of engine flush. Degunk or pennzoil will do, buy the one with the most volume. 1 quart is close to the size.

Ok, ready to do the flush and the oil change?

DON'T REMOVE THE OIL, LEAVE THE OIL PAN PLUG IN!

Ok, remove your oil filter ONLY, discard and put on the cheap fram oil filter. You will have lost maybe a quart of oil in doing this. This is good.

Pour the bottle of engine flush into the oil fill tube, put the cap back on the oil fill tube and start up the engine and IDLE it for 30 minutes.

I AM COMPLETELY SERIOUS ABOUT THE IDLE THING! DO NOT BE AN IDIOTIC AND IMPATIENT MORON AND REV THE ENGINE WITH THE FLUSH IN THE OIL. THE FLUSH IS MEANT TO THIN THE OIL AND IT DISSOLVES THE ENGINE OIL SLUDGE ALL IN YOUR ENGINE.

IF YOU DO, YOU WILL DAMAGE YOUR ENGINE AND DON'T COME WHINING BACK AT ME BECAUSE YOU COULDN'T FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS.

The new filter is there to catch the amazing amount of crap the engine flush will dissolve and remove it from the oil. After 30 minutes has past, shut down the engine, remove and discard the crap oil filter.

Remove the oil pan plug and allow the engine oil to drain. Leave the filter off and the plug out for 30 minutes so all the conventional oil is allowed to drain. Don't rush this job, DO IT RIGHT! Hell, while it is draining, go around and lube the hinges on your truck or maybe lube the front end a bit.

Ok, after 30 minutes has past, install the good quality oil filter (AC Delco/K&N/WIX/Mobil1) and fill up your oil. DON'T OVERFILL! Also, check your oil level on even ground.

There you go, you have internally cleaned most of the conventioanl sludge out of your engine and have replaced your oil with synthetics.

You are now good for 8000miles of driving when you replace the oil filter at 4000 miles and top the engine oil up with what you lost changing the filter.

Happy driving!

Does it really matter what brand of engine flush i get? I see all kinds of stuff: marvel mystery oil, sea foam, degunk, etc.

[BlazerLT]

I highly recommend degunk.

Can be purchased at Walmart and is really cheap.

[dmbrisket 51]

change the oil, and put a product called sea foam in it, i love the stuff, and blazerlt hasnt found an anti artical on that one yet , its great for stickey lifters and it is excellent as a gas treatment in the winter time, its a little mroe then the heet crap out there, but it does a much better job and lasts a lot longer, i use half a bottle per 18 gallon tank, and i only put it in every other fillup, so i get 4 tanks out of one 4 us dollers, or like you, i use it in my oil to keep everything freely flowing

[chris15706]

The lifter noise was actually louder after i put the lucas in there. That was a wasted oil change. Im gonna do the flush tonight and stay away from the lucas and see what happens.

Actually, seafoam treatments should not be done that frequently.

Maybe a small treatment every 6 months.

Over doing additives like you are doing can and will cause plug fouling and deposits.

Actually bro, you don't need to treat it the whole winter.

Over doing the additive aolvents can lead to injector failure and o-ring degradation. As I said, only do it maybe one every 6 months or maybe ever once in ever 3 months.

Trust me on this, I used to use cleaners almost every tank or two and when I chanecked my plugs when I replaced them, a LOT of them had thick whitish brown deposits around the electrodes.

There are cleaners already in the fuel.

Actually, your fuels I think are better than ours.

We get the crappy winter gas with ethanol.

Just remember the golden rule of any automotive additives.

Less is more.

[dmbrisket 51]

less is more is the charmen ultra commertial, and our fuel is based around emissions then how good it is, kind of sucks, not much of a noticable difference from detroit to the other end of the tunnel though
