[QUOTE="MaxW, post: 57472, member: 7705"] So I flushed out the pan by circulating solvent in the fill pipe and out the drain pipe. I used a large coffee tin full of solvent, a small drill pump, some plastic tubing and a fuel filter, just to keep any grit from being circulated back into the engine. I'd circulate the solvent until it was nice and black, then replace the solvent with clean fluid and circulated it in and out of the engine again. After draining the solvent I poured a couple cups of oil into the engine with the drain open until the oil displaced the residual solvent. Refilled it will fresh oil, ran the engine and drove it around for awhile to mix up any of the residual solvent and then drained the oil again and replaced the filter. I was hoping this would clean out the pan, and I think it did clean out a fair amount of sludge, but oil that was no more then 20 minutes oil still drained out looking rather dark. Before refilling I poured a couple cups of clean oil through. The new oil still came out the drain hose as a mix of yellow and black.
