Work finished in engine bay
First job was to clean the sump
When the oil was first drained it was so thick and congealed that nothing came out when the sump plug was removed, i had to poke a hole through a thick crust at the bottom of the sump to let the oil out.
I didn’t want to remove the sump, so to clean it a little tool was made to put through the sump plug hole and scrape the sludge out, once the thick stuff was removed from the bottom petrol was poured through the dipstick and left to soak in the sump over night.
After soaking overnight compressed air was used to blast the petrol around the inside of the engine, this was repeated until the petrol came out clean. An endoscopic camera was used to inspect engine after and it looks spotless ready for new oil
Radiator removed and flushed out, also flushed the engine out
New heater hoses and a used top hose fitted
