Hey Guys, First post, though Ive used your forum for quite a bit of knowledge and help. Ive got a 2005 Police interceptor 4.6 2V with a Vortech V3, 8PSI boost.
I just blew the head gasket, so Ive been slowly over time removed the heads (back from the machine shop), all new cometic head gaskets, ARP studs etc.. (I have a full parts list I can link)...
However I did two 10-15 minute cleans on both sides of the short block with scotch bright maroon pads. I can see the fibers/hairs around, I dont know what I can see. Ive been cleaning by blowing out with a air can, WD-40 and white lint free rags. but Im starting to get worried about all these scotch bright engine killer posts.
can I just pour a bunch of new oil in before starting the engine, drain it all out, fill up again, run for a few minutes? or miles?
Then Flush fully again and refill? and/or thoughts?
Any one thats been through this? is it took late for me?
Thanks in advance, appreciate anyones time and replies.
