great thread. One new step to me. I usually run engine, drain block, run antifreeze then fog and done. You are saying that now it is a good idea to run engine, drain block, run antifreeze, fog, then drain manifolds again

The hydraulic lifters should bleed down thus relieving the valve springs...Correct???

454 Mag MPI - is it ok to do the fogging oil (2 stroke oil I guess) in the fuel filter method? No problems with injectors, etc?

Thanks.

Thought I would add this little bit of info. Use a shop vac to suck any water out of your inter cooler system. Stick the hose end right on the dump fitting and let her suck until dry.

In the serloc manual i have for my 496 mag HO it says to close fuel supply , disconnect fuel pump and boost pump, add 2oz of 2 cycle oil to fuel filter and run till fuel runs out. Im confused becasuse ive read in this thread to shut motor off when i start to see smoke. So does anyone know the proper way? My problem is that i want to run anti-freeze mix thru the muffs out of a 5 gallon jug, so how can i time it to where it either starts to smoke or runs out of fuel before i use up the antifreeze in the jug. im stressing over this and i refuse to bring it somewhere to have it done because i dont like people wrenching on my stuff. Is there a way to fill the raw water side with anti-freeze mix without running it thru the muffs?

Back in Kentucky my dad put a fitting in one of the water lines. Then used a bilge pump dropped in a bucket of antifreeze to fill the block. You can see it run out the exhaust.
