Any other products you have used or heard of being used? I did put sea foam in the other day and will run it with that for a while and change the oil and filter again this weekend, just looking for other options.

I once had an engine that had lots of gunk in it. I used this stuff from wally world called Engine Flush or something. Worked good. While talking to my dad about using it, he said that I could have just used diesel fuel, about a pint of it. He said that's what he used to use in his old engines when they needed a good cleaning. He said that he would just run it until it got warm, then change the oil. I haven't tried this, but the Engine Flush stuff worked great.

On a side note, glad to see that you are getting pressure now.
