I have built a ton of engines, been hardest on my gt500 (800rwhp) and numerous modular based builds. Always ran euro 0w40 in n/s applications, and Rotella t5 in 5w40 or 15w40 in blown applications.. (Shelby had 30’is k miles on her and last Blackwood analysis said “if we didn’t know the miles...

All good steps (done I’ve done in the past) I’m luckily Getting it done quicker than I had expected.. I’ve just never liked the idea of internals having been wet and sitting for any amount of time.. I mean, flash rush is bad enough, but I let life get in the way of a build and it will be a year+...

(Agree on that as well..)

lol, if u want to think so, that’s cool.. My experience tells me otherwise, but, I was just putting my follow up out there in case anyone was curious/interested…. (No guarantees or warranties expressed or implied…lol) Enjoy your day…! 🙂

(This was a 150k pt cruiser turbo that had blown head gasket)

(Results of my described method) Have a few more cores treated awaiting disassembly as we speak… (Just in case anyone wondered)

(Furthermore, I know a guy that worked for Holman-Moody that would clean a gasket failure engine out with diesel…Y’all really gotta hate on that one)

Oil was heavily contaminated (as in at at least 50% coolant. Idling an engine with no coolant merely to oil/decontaminate hydraulic adjusters etc, and try to displace water and heave a minimally contaminated mix in the crankcase during storage definitely won’t damage anything further than what...

(I have cyl washed down w wd as well)

I have a vehicle that has a blown head gasket. In the past (from what I’ve seen guys dye coming up (I’m older) I drained coolant, drained oil. Put a gallon of wd40 in along with 2 quarts of 20/50, cranked, let idle 10 min then shut down fir storage until I address the problem.. In the past I’ve...
