How to go about cleaning INSIDE the engine.

[No eye deer]

Hey fellas,
I have heard of sludging problems in the ol'VZ 175 etc. Whats a decent way of cleaning it out GRADUALLY? I know youi can end up with leaks if you are too agressive.
If you recommend diesel oil, which one are we using?
Or should I just change the oil every 5000KM?
Any suggestions?

Thanks
Mark

Keep the services regular and you won't have to worry about sludge. 5k should be fine

As above keep them regular at 5000K and you'll be golden , and so will your engine on the inside

Sound advice for any engine, high performance or otherwise.

When I bought my VZ , I was a little concerned about some of the prior service history, so I gave it a few short interval services with a flush each time, so now the engine inside , what I can see from the oil filler, and the oil on the dipstick when checked , looks good .

Garden hose through the filler cap and take the sump plug out......

Correct. Well, either suggested it, or asked if it would work.
