I can relate. I am also in the middle of doing the same thing after my #3 and #4 mains got wiped out with F.M. Definately debri from machining. Very few true pros out there are left. Bottom line no one is going to put the care and effort like yourself. I also had the same experience with a local machine shop.I agree with the paint thinner or mineral spirits. I also pressurise a one of those a/c flush can that comes with a hose and I hit all the passages with 90 psi of fluid pressure. It works. Good luck.. Awesome vid.....
Tough situation bud. I commend you on your understanding and level head during the process. I believe you and the shop came to a very fair agreement. Personally, I've used the same shop for 25 years. From day 1 I've disassembled and rechecked all their work. Not that they gave me cause to, but that I needed to know I was sending out something that I know is good to go. We're human and we make mistakes. If somehow we can lesson the chance of a mistake or catching it before it becomes costly....then I try to do it. It's worked for me for 25 years and I'll keep doing it till this industry is done with me. Maybe something to consider, I use lacquer thinner to flush all oil galleries, lines, tanks, and coolers. It breaks down any stuck oily garbage and really cleans. I fill a 5 gallon bucket and and submerge an old fuel pump with a hose. After hot tank and a parts washer at the machine shop, I hand wash with Tide and pressure wash to rinse. Then the lacquer thinner and I still get dirty runout after all that. Anyway....good luck to you. I'll subscribe.
