Hi all,
I want to clean my breather box and if possible without removing it.
In the FAQ it says you can do it by running some Gunk Cleaner before doing an oil change.
My question :
Do I need to run the Gunk Cleaner immediately prior to doing the oil change, or can I drive some with the Gunk Cleaner mixed in my oil? Does "immediately" means really "immediately" before the oil change?
Many thanks.
Below is the blurp from the FAQ to which I am making reference.
Cleaning Oil Breather box In Situ:
[Response 2:] Try running some Gunk Motor Flush (a kerosene solvent/detergent used just before an oil change) down into the breather box through the flame trap tube. It may dislodge any crud inside the box and free up the drain into the crankcase. Just make sure you change the oil immediately after you do this. [Response: Mark] If you want to unclog the oil trap without removing it, try this. During the oil change, with the plug out and the pan drained, place a funnel in the hose nipple coming out of the oil trap and dump a quart of cheap motor flush down the funnel. It should go right through and drain right out into the pan. If it drains sloooowly, pour some carb cleaner to break up the globs and follow with the rest of the motor flush. The nipple diameter is small. I place a length of hose over the nipple and place the funnel in the hose. Make sure the hose fits the nipple snugly. Use a zip tie to reduce the diameter by tightening it until the hose snugs.
