I've used GUNK Engine Flush for quite a few years with positive results
here in the "colonies".
It comes in a 1 quart can like the old oil cans, you dump it in on top
of your old oil. Run the engine for 15 minutes, dump the oil. Took 4 oil
changes for my engine to clean out, but I'm sure if I had done it Phil's
way, it would have taken less time. I'm not sure if the GUNK stuff would
work alone.
