Engine Flush. Good or Bad

[natben]

My recently purchased Cerbera has been sat idol for 2 years. I was going to change the oil and filter on it but then someone said "make sure you give it an engine flush", So I was about to do it when I was told by a friend that and engine flush was the cause of the damage on his RS Escort a good while ago as it stripped the coating off the crank!!!.

So as unlikely as that sounds, what is the opinion of you guys. Flush or no Flush.

Hi Sandy,

I have bought a Cerbera AJPV8 4.5. I tried my best not too but it wasn't enough, It is in my garage up on axle stands awaiting new tyres, brake discs and pads. Calipers refurbished and painted and oil and filter change. The cats need put back on and then an MOT.

It will probably be September before that happens as work and family holidays will get in the way but looking forward to getting behind the wheel of a Cerb again.

I tried to loosen the sump plug tonight but it would not budge, I need to get the car up higher but I managed to brake my small ratchet trying to get the nut of so I have soaked it and will revisit it tomorrow.

I think I will put an engine flush through it when I get the nut off. Thanks for the replies guys.
