My personal opinion is leave the shit where it is rather than try and flush it out and risk it getting round into a bearing. But then I don't ever fit an unknown engine these days so generally clean them out before I fit them.
Ideally you want to pull the oil gallery plugs before you fit the engine and clean em out properly.

dont bother...

just change the oil and filter twice in 500 miles and you'll have the same effect as a flush without any risk of damage.

My mate is nuts about flushing oil. Personally, I believe that it is watered down oil. The stuff which it is watered down with has inferior lubrication properties.....so might be dangerous. I use that £2.50 20W50 that you can get. Total filth. Works though. Then again, all of my engines have smoked, etc, etc

Bugger off, I'm getting there.
