[V8] Flushing properly

[d saad]

What is it with that o-ring anyway? Mine always sticks up there, but no
other car ever does.

Anyway - I bet you turned off the motor
before any serious damage was done. You probably only removed the last 50K
miles or so from the normal million mile life expectancy of the V8.
Since the bores are basically made of sand anyway, who needs oil? ;-)
