I have used water decarbonizing and GM top end cleaner and have NO PROBLEMS.

Stop with the fear mongering about this case. IT WAS NOT CAUSED BY THE CLEANER, IT WAS CAUSED BY OIL FAILURE.
I also have used engine flush successfully per your instructions on this Forum. I have also lost an engine using flush. It is up to each of us to make our own decision when buying or using these products.

As for the fear mongering, I've said my peace, but I thought this Forum was about sharing information. I have my opinion about what caused this engine to fail and you have yours. Who's right or wrong? We'll probably never know for sure. The main thing is to get gmyoyo back on the road as quickly and as cheaply as possible. The way I see it, the poor guy spent a lot of time and money putting a CPI and Nut Kit into an engine that has major internal damage and needs to be removed and replaced or repaired. Hopefully, most if not all of these parts can be used on his new engine.
