    Gas from water?????

    I'm kind of embarrassed to put this out, but I want a reality check. I've seen where people break down water into HOH and route it into their manifolds to burn concurrently with Gas. My first reaction is that its a bunch of hogwash, but interested in what some of you more knowledgeable folks...

    supertech bypass valve problem?

    I think I've lost my faith in Supetech filters. I have been running st7317 in my 02 civic with no problems and dropping it out at about 5k. On the last run I noticed that the oil level had come up a little about 3500 miles into the OCI. well 500 miles later I changed out the oil because i...

    red cap vs gold cap ht/hs

    I just purchased some gold cap m1 15w50 for my kz1000p and in researching the new specs I noted the following. The moly and boron are almost identical to the motorcycle mx4t 10w40 ( thanks to stinky Peterson's analysis) and on the down side the Ht/hs is reduced from the old red cap's awesome...

    Thank you Pennzoil!

    Finally found an oil that my 02 Civic really responds to. PZ 5w20 sm. Previous fill was m1 5w30 sl. The difference is noticible. The car feels like its rev happy! Can't give you percentage improvement,but by the butt dyno, its noticible. This oil rocks. I read the post from Terry Dyson, where he...

    Clean air Intake, what do you think?

    I'm not sure if this is the right section of the forum to post this in, but I was hoping to get some feed back on this idea. I was thinking if intake dirt is the largest component of contaminants in your engine, after all we go to extrem efforts with quality filters to keep it out, then, why not...

    Is Motorcraft 5w30 Really a Syn-Blend

    So why would they put that if its just Hydrocracked?? What is the alternative explanation? Customer: Mr. Ford why did the back of your bottle say its part synthetic? Is this really true? Ford: Well Mr. Customer, we were trying to save money and since we already had a bunch of labels printed...

    Motorcraft home brew

    I want to thicken up the mc 20 wt to about 9.0 vis. The honda seems to like its 20 weight best at that vis. So...What do you all think of mixing one quart of mc 5w30 with 2.75 qts of mc 5w20. Do you all think this mixture will result in overall less quality oil than if using all 5w20. I would...

    Fram Oil Filter for MC, Any good??

    I know this board tends to frown on Fram oil filters on Cars and Trucks, and I tend to agree due to poor construction. However, I'm thinking that they may be a good filter to use on a motorcycle. Specifically a Kawasaki 1000 police. No adbv , bypass or end caps to worry about. Only the filter...

    OCI , how many hours of running?

    I've been thinking about changing my old habits from doing OCI in thousands of miles to hours. A thread a while back suggested it was better doing it that way, and I tend to agree. Question is, How many hours is the accepted standard? Someone suggested 40 hours on off the shelf synthetic (g3)...
