My buddy just bought a 93 acura integra that had a turbo on it before he bought it... well he was driving the car home and we found that it had a blown head gasket. The s***'s already mixed together and formed the milky emulsified crap in the oil and radiator. We're going to run water through the water passages to clean those out...

My question is, what would you guys suggest to clean out the oil passages?

A local engine mechanic that owns a boat shop near me said to use diesal fuel because it already has some oil in it. Pull the fuel pump fuse and then crank it over for a minute or two to get the gunk loosened up, then to drain that and fill it up with normal oil afterwards. Does this sound like a sound idea to you guys?
