I learned from a Trans. Mechanic that when he bought a New Vehicle that he first broke in the motor and then he drained his Engine and got 300K miles out of it and when he opened the Block it looked new. Also, added to this treatment, I check/change the Timing Gears and chain, due to past experience.
I never would do that, however when purchasing someone else's junk Vehicle what could it hurt to flush out the unknown debris from over the years. It works for me and I will continue to use this treatment.
Example: My mother took me to buy my father a Ford van that had a wheel chair lift on the side, the motor sounded good to my ear, so we bought it. The first thing I did was the Trans. flush. I put a new oil filter on first and filled the Ford Motor with Trans. fluid and ran it to operating Temp, 1/2 hour approx. Then we filled it with Motor oil and drove Dad around for some time due to his having a stroke and being paralyzed on his left side.
He lived one year after that; I was to paint the Vehicle and sell it to use the money toward the funeral. The man that bought the extra-long/high top van with the Hydraulic lift on the side, was elated that he could use the lift to move his supplies in and out easily. On his way home the Engine Oil light came on and he had to pull into the garage for a repair. Don't you know he called me to tell me that? First of all, we spent another $800 on the AC with dual air system, front and back. Now this guy stole this work horse van for cheap, loaded and working on delivery as best as I could do. The prognosis is the Oil pump needed to be replaced. On further research I learned post sale that Fords are notorious for Oil pump replacement, or so I read.
The fact is Dad got his use out of the van and the new owner had to replace a Mear Oil pump, that's life, no one could have predicted this to happen, no one is at fault either, buyer beware and sold as is!
So, how do I relate to this tale, simple, flushing this Ford Motor using the Trans. fluid, might have bought my family time, that my father desperately needed to drive him to doctors and whatever. I have used this treatment in my 428 ci engine twice now, once on the purchase and recently with the Intake off, I can see all and with the Oil Pan off I can see even more. The Engine is so clean that one could eat off it, "NOT". When I run the Trans. fluid through the Engine, it comes out darker and that is the proof that the fluid goes everywhere, including cleaning out the lifters, all the Motor Oil passages, Bearings, and Journals, etc...
You said: "Why do you assume using trans. fluid in an unknown mileage/history engine makes it any cleaner than anyone else's engine"?
Mikes ans:
I don't really, I am thinking that unless you try my treatment you will never know, will you? I can only state how well it works for myself, the rest is keeping this thread going, Ha...
