Flushing LSx Engine
Flushing LSx Engine I used a scotch brite pad to clean my head gasket surface of my LS2. Then found out it was a pretty big mistake. For those of you who don't know, Scotch brite pads are made with aluminum oxide particles as small as 40 microns. When introduced into an engine they act like sand paper on the bearings, and can destroy an engine within a couple of hundred miles. Good to know, too bad I found out too late......
So I want to flush my engine, and new cam. What is SAFE to use for the bearings new cam?

So where did all these particles end up because you cleaned the deck........?
Just what fell inside the cylinders?
Why do you think it got into the inside of the engine?
Pour SeaFoam into each cylinder to fill them as mush as you can. Swirl that around....then wet vac it all out. Do it multiple times if you want. That should clean all the stuff out of there so you can then run it.
