motor flushing.... huh?

Hi,

 

so I have a 05 LGT that the turbo just blew. I was advised to flush the motor.. but what exactly does that mean?

 

does that mean 2-3 oil changes back to back? or flush with a fluid real quick? I'm just not sure what that means. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

 

Thanks,

Vince

check sticky

Blown turbo - means that residue from it would end up just about everywhere and needs to be taken care of.

 

Add a magnetic oil plug too in case the flush missed something.

I already read that ... but i don't understand WHAT a engine flush is.

like what is the process

nvm ... did more reading... it just using a "flushing" fluid. and using it correctly. ill have another question so i'll start a new post.

A flush is where fresh oil is blown through all parts of the engine in order to flush out debris. It may be necessary to remove cams and separate conrods from the crankshaft to make sure that nothing gets stuck in the bearing surfaces.

 

You need to know all oil channels on the engine and the possible places where dirt can get trapped. Some devices like the cam timing advancers are tricky and may not be possible to disassemble. There are also some small filters in some parts of the engine - the notorious banjo filter.

 

Be aware that the debris is sharp and may perforate the oil filter and fingers if you aren't careful. Protective glasses is a good idea.
