Message	flushed again with motor in. As I was taking this motor apart to do the preventative maintenance, I discovered the coolant galleys on the turbos were clogged. I pulled the drain plugs on the block and they were clogged. Reverse flushed, forward flushed and got out as much crap as I could. I used that Prestone Flush for neglected cooling systems and then just flushed this weekend using the procedure in AutoFAQ. My god, was it gross. Super dark brown water for the first 3 gallons, and then I noticed a slight change. All in all, I flushed it with 12 gallons before I got it clean. I probably will flush again sometime down the road just to check.
