I have never flushed any of my Corvairs when purchased. I HAVE used both
GM's detergent additive and CD-2 DETERGENT additive (yellow can??) to help free
up rings, but in the long run even caked on deposits in the heads will
soften and slowly dissolve with regular oil changes and some extra detergent
additives. I stay away from solvents and anything that is not SL oil. As I've
said before, I am using the "high mileage" oils that are still SL rated (Mobil
I synthetic or regular oil).
I also immediately (ok--almost immediately) redo the top cover/breather
(clean and install new gaskets) as well as push rod and oil cooler "O" rings.
