Hey everyone...

I have a very noob-ish, stupid, but important question...
What EXACTLY does it mean when you have to "Flush" your engine (lets say when doing an engine conversion). Also, is it done before you run the new engine or after? What is the process involved?

Thanx

when you fluch your engine, you exhange all the fluids for new ones, (oil, coolant, tranny fluid isnt a bad idea either etc.) and you wanna do it before you run the new motor.

Is this what you are looking for?

hmm i think so... but that step guide states that its pointless... I don't really know what to expect if doing a flush and even if its important. Is flushing just a simple change of fluids like brady said, or is it the process of cleaning the internals?

i was under the impression that you just change fluids, but if it says to clean internals thats not a bad idea either
