I am in the middle of changing my HG on my UT along with the waterpump and cambelt,

The engine ran before with the HG blown so the oil and water mixed, I have drained the oil/water mix out of the sump, Is it ok to fill the engine up with flush, let it idle for 30 mins or so, drain it then fill it up with oil, drive the car for 500 miles carefully on standard boost 7psi without nailing it, then re-torque the head bolts and jobs a good-un?

Any help appriciated :)

You dont need to go to all that effort. Let the oil drain as long as possible. Overnight is good. Fill oil. take it for a decent run. Change oil again.
