Started cleaning sludged engine

[Jon Chimpo]

AC Delco oil sensor ordered along with 2 new knock sensors with the harness. going to rent the fuel line flairing kit so I can cut off the old fitting, and put a new one on.

Wow man. Glad you're getting in cleaned out but that's a heck of a lot of sludge. How did you come to find out it was sludged?

I did an oil change, and the filter was completely filled with sludge. That's when the fun all started.

Would seafoam be of any use for this situation?

That's what I'm going to use after my oil and 1qt ATF flush. I'm going to drain the aft/ oil out after a 30min idle, pull the filter. then full back up with oil, and seafoam with new filter drive it for a while, then flush again.

we'll see what happens...

I'd like to be one to thank you for documenting this. It will be a huge help for future reference. Your efforts will not be in vain!

Can I start a go fund me?

I'm really hoping this works out for you. You're doing a really good job. This is only more proof that these engines can run good, even after being abused and or neglected. Great job man!

2 new knock sensors, the harness, and an Delco oil sensor. Another 230$ into this B.

Thanks Tony, but it's not started yet. there will be prayers made to have this engine come back. My wife thinks it's going to work, I don't. Don't get me wrong, I really don't want to spend another 3k on this Z71.
