[QUOTE="83gl1200, post: 128943, member: 3756"] Are you suggesting I flush oil passages with water? (Maybe you missed where i explained there was also grit in the oil.) If so, then how do I get rid of all the water before putting oil back in? I was scrubbing the front engine and impeller cover casing last night and there was rust where the impeller seats and indeed the impeller was so loose it was rubbing against the aluminum cover. Big obvious wear marks in the aluminum. My "sand" was probably bits of rust, pump bearings, aluminum shavings and chips off the bakelite impeller itself. Even though my case is a 1200 the impeller was Bakelite. I'll take a look at the thermostat as soon as I figure out where that is and how to get to it. Diesel sounds like a good solvent, engine has a fair amount of sludge too which needs something to clean it out, but I bet that will loosen a lot of dangerous grit. Maybe I should flush, then assemble, then run it with oil/atf, and drain again before wasting new oil again. I can't believe what a costly mess this fixer has turned out to be. Absolutely everything has been a problem. [/QUOTE]
