Thinking of flushing a 1.1 106 out as I have just changed the stem seals, cam seal and headgasket. Anyone got advice on what to use/what not to use?
Thanks

Go with a wynns oil flushing liquid, they're the best on the market in my experience. A decent one shouldn't cost more than a fiver. Make sure you run it up for 10-15 minutes to get it nice and hot then drain it as normal and make sure that you change the oil filter too. So many leave the old one on which is pointless. It may sound stupid but believe me, I've seen more than I care to remember that have done. That should be more than enough for it unless you have sludge for oil then just take a little longer to get it up to running temp so that the oil is as thin as possible so it will drain nicely.
