Flushing engine to get antifreeze out of oil

[jabfd]

Hi guys I have fix me mercruiser 470 but I have some frothy areas in my valve cover
Is there some thing I should do before i launch the boat? I change the oil. Do I just run it a little then change oil again or do I use a flush in a bottle to help clean the inside of the engine ? I read of people using trans fluid but not sure what's best. Thanks again Jeff

frothy?? if your seeing oil foam, then your mixing the oil and A/F. If you mean a whitish looking deposit in the rubber cap, that just could be some moisture

Hi guys I just fixed the cam seals . but I did have a lot of antifreeze in the oil to the point of when I pulled the oil plug at first only antifreeze came out then oil . So I changed the oil and new filter . Now I wanted to know. do I just run engine and change engine oil more often or is there a way I can flush it out to make sure the antifreeze that was in there does not damage any of the bearings thanks in advances
