On your trans fluid cleaning procedure... anyone else ever completely fill an engine with ATF to clean it? Or heard of doing that? What do y'all think pure ATF in an engine does for bearings and other internals?

No, I have never run ATF in an engine. But the Tremec 5 speed in my old Mustang used ATF. So I would believe the bearings would be fine. As far as some getting into the combustion process. If you ever had a vacuum modulator go in many cases the engine was sucking / burning ATF.
