I have seen people tighten everything to the point of deformation or stripping. I have never done it, stripped a bolt by over torque. I dont like antiseize in anything to do with filters, reason is they use ground up metal particles, and that will get in the oil. For example, a lot of add on...

Hardest part of this is figuring out the larger tube to fit the TP roll, everything else is easy. I do notice the 8N housing has a slightly rolled steel lip, and that catches on the TP when taking it out. It is not really made for what I am doing, but it does work ok. The TP does shrink down...

The smaller diameter inner tube was a tube section from a kids wagon handle, like 3/4 copper pipe will also work. The spring (with its steel base which yours is missing), presses on that inner tube and the inner tube at the bottom presses down on the bottom end of the outer tube. The washer...

Many things are used 'off label'. The label here means nothing negative for mechanical engine use. All that label says is what the product is sold for. A compressor is very similar to an engine, both compress and pump things under high pressures and heat. Missing 'x' additive package does not...

https://www.lubegard.com/products/biotech/ Here is what mixing in an ester oil can do for engines. They call it the "lubrication system of the future." Ester oils really are that good for engines. The future though is what people will market and then buy.

buy a small bottle of ester cool and put some into engine oil, and see what it does.

This ester oil would mix with engine oil regardless of the designed use. Not that I would use a lot mixed in. significantly cheaper than the Lubegard.

None, except that using ester oils mixed into engine oils promotes several nice benefits, look at the lubegard biotech benefits.

I am thinking add in 15 or 16 ounces, not run the engine on pure ester oil. The description says it mixes with mineral oils So get the ester oil benefit at lower cost. PRODUCT OVERVIEW: ONE OIL FOR ALL APPLICATIONS An all-natural Ester oil, that contains additives which give it the ability to...

My fuel is very good, typical diesel, no water. If you read up on diesel fuel filtration for modern diesel engines, the finer the filter, the longer common rail injectors will last. It is simply preventing as much as possible wear in common rail injectors which run at 20,000 psi etc. Becuase...

get out the arc welder and weld on a nut.

Do sideways filters get air bubbles in them? Coolant is not very messy. And when I remove the trans filter, some comes out too.

I was adding a remote coolant filter, and decided to lay it sideways. I did this on my truck as otherwise the bottom of the filter is slightly below the frame rail. And was thinking what if something hit it. So sideways is better protection. I recently put on a trans remote filter and it is...

The Baldwin is 5 micron, the OEM is 8 or 10 micron, these Baldwins are the best in the 5.9 Cummins OEM spot. This is info from various places includes cummins forum. I added a DD 60 series pre filter of 30 micron and a post of supposedly 2 to 4 micron, a filter made by CAT. I have gauges on...
