True story When it was obvious i needed a vehicle to move from point A to B, I bought a toyota corona/avensis, car came with 2.0 3SFE engine. Kazeem spoilt it while changing head gasket so i have less to lose. so while racing on kd road, i killed the engine racing a more powerful car than mine. Sourced for a good 3SFE but couldnt get a direct one for that year.. Had to be more adventurous, i installed a 5SFE with a 5S ECU. I took my time to match the wiring harness of a 3S to a 5S engine and ECU New engine runs poorly, low Mile per gallon due to defective MAP sensor and sludge in the engine. Change the MAP sensor. To clean the sludge, I bought 2 liter of KEROSENE removed 1ltr of engine oil from the engine. Poured the kerosene in the engine and run it for 10min. Removed the whole oil and changed the filter. put in new oil and new filter, Then for safety reason to avoid leaking seals due to kerosene (from childhood i know the effect of kerosene on rubber) i put some oil treatment. Bought new PCv (positive crank case ventilator/valve and installed) To help vent the crankcase and prevent sludge buildup. Engine runs fine, smooth and its fuel efficient. I get close to 700km on a single tank of fuel right now. 1 Like |

OgaKazeem: Then if I were you I would find a reason to go on a long journey of at least 250km round trip (preferably more )and beat the hell out of that Camry at least once a month Short journeys are deadly for that engine |

Re: Help With Sludge... by ironheart(m): 9:29pm On Apr 11, 2018 |
OgaKazeem:abro. If you wish to go my route, make sure you put an eye on your oil pressure light. Do not exceed 10min of idle. I did not go more than 7min. Then open the drain hole to drain the oil. You will be shocked the amount of black oil that will come out of your engine. |

Re: Help With Sludge... by ironheart(m): 6:42am On Apr 12, 2018 |
Jazzlite:yea but in my personal opinion, i think kerosene evaporate quicker than diesel. So i went with kerosene to avoid a quick oil change. My thinking might be wrong but its been two months i have been running that engine without any issue. If i am to do that again, i will use a mix of ATF and engine oil. Right now my internal is clean so i do not need diesel or kero anymore |
Re: Help With Sludge... by ironheart(m): 6:44am On Apr 12, 2018 |
OgaKazeem:bros i tire o. We just have to take the risk. How are we sure other mix we have in the market are genuine? |
