    Yummy.

    Hopefully you got new LIM gasket and lots of time and oil to wash all that crap away.

    What he meant is.. put the new gaskets in... then do oil changes about every 2500 miles. That'll clean right up.
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.

    Yeah Diesel fuel does amazing stuff, it works just like Seafoam does and costs less.

    Read up on LIM gasket changes, you'll see what you need to do.

    Wish I could even find an engine around here, only one here has 160k on it. Next closest I have found is over 300 miles away and has 134k on it.

    I know many have done it successfully, not a fan of using kerosense/diesel etc to clean a motor. It works as a thinner to break down the stuff. Which can then make its way to the pan as chunks etc. I'd prefer to do more oil changes and let the stuff come out slowly....just like it built up.

    We have like 7-8 junk yards, but they each have 1-2 cars that even have a 3800 in them. Most of them have well over 200k on the clock or the engine is toast. **** most of the 3800 powered cars around here are beat to **** or owned by people from the res.
