Personally, I like Diesel/Kerosene to flush engines, but I only trun the
engine with the starter motor, without plugs or a distributor. Then
it's 2 fills with generic oil, the first under the starter motor again,
the second only gets driven around the block. A Fomoto valve makes this
process easier, but don't forget to tighten it occasionally [I need to
safety wire mine..]
