Re: IML: Dirty Oil in my 440

["Robin Giesbrecht" <robings@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

It is only my opinion but, as far as I am concerned, it is quite dangerous 
to start stirring up whatever is sitting on the bottom of your oil pan. I 
know it is a dirty job but the safest and best way is to pull the pan and 
valve covers and give them a good cleaning. It takes very little to clog an 
oilway or jam the oil pressure relief valve open and your engine is then 
toast(0 oil pressure). Been there done that. It's not the answer everyone 
wants to hear but it is reality.
