How to THOROUGHLY flush your engine

[JoeZ]

My car was idling like crap the other day so I figured since I just got it, it may have been awhile since anyone changed the oil out. I decided to go ahead and change the oil. I used Mobile 1 synthentic oil like I was reccomended on here. Anyways, I drain out the oil and noticed it was extremely dark and even after 10 minutes of draining, it was still coming out. I decided to go ahead and flush it to make sure all the bad stuff got out. I hooked up the hose, ran water through the engine, started it up and was waiting for the water to come out clean (The engine never went above idle so I was told this would be ok). Anyways, About 3 minutes into this, then engine starts shaking and shuts off. I figured it was all cleaned out so I plugged it up, added the oil and figured I was ready to go. WRONG! The car won't freaking start now. This car has been nothing but trouble for me, I think I am done with it.

Quoted from some mustang forum....just had to share it here :willy_nilly:

Still not as good as the Audi owner who ran sand through his motor

My favorite is the guy who stopped at a gas station on his street bike and saw that they sold NOS and pored 2 bottles of nos energy drinks into his gas tank hoping for maximum performance :rofl: LOL.

LOL. good idea for a new thread. Stories of the funny/retarded things people do to their engines.

That is really sad...

You know, he was doing it EXACTLY right, but I bet he was reading the instructions for flushing his cooling system, and assumed it was for the oiling system.

He probably dumped that Mobil 1 oil into the radiator...
