Anyone who know how to flash the oil out of the engine pan with out taking the pan of from the engine under.

Maybe diesel/fuel 

Thanks

I would recommend taking the oil pan off the vehicle.  You never know what else you might find on the bottom end of engine including things like plugged pick up screens, etc...

I agree that it would be best to take the pan off if the car has been out of commission for years. Should not be too hard if there is no cross member under the pan.

If you don't want to do that try warming up the engine and changing the oil, using light oil like 10W30  detergent oil. Change it after 500 or 1000 miles. After 2 or 3 changes the inside of the engine should be clean. I do not recommend any kind of solvent or flushing compound. They can do more harm than good.

If there is any sign of water in the oil change it first before you try to start it. And take the pan off if you can.

By the way when your Rockne was made they recommended changing oil every 1000 miles if you do not have an oil filter. With an oil filter and air filter you can go longer. Especially these days when we drive on paved roads not dirt or gravel.

Could you take it to a mechanic or get someone to help?

I do everything by myself

with this car i lurn with the advice of the people from AACA very much 

I restaureted many years ago my Volvo Amazon combi into a automatic with lpg under the body

Today I crumble under the car and took the Carter pan of the engine

Thanks for the advice

It's indeed very dirty the Carter pan

I'm happy I took it of and will clean it very well

I have already a gasket for the pan from many years ago 

Put some clean oil 20w50

This week I will start the engine for the first time in about 70 years

Thanks

I cleaned the engine pan and oil filter

Very dirty after 70 years of not running

It's not my favorite way to go under the car and take of the engine pan

What have to be done I will do

And the results will be a clean pan for the oil I Pur In

Enjoy the day gentleman and lady's
