I've done a lot of reading in here and come to read that the liquid titanium in kendall is no longer, however I can't find anything in relation to they're HDEO. Does it still retain the liquid titanium? How does the liquid titanium work with new engine break in? Everything I'm reading states to...

My dad was RPM, still have some of the old oil cans. They it's always been chevron.

No one said I was uncomfortable. I'm asking opinions on different products. My machine work is good, I've just never used assembly lube so this is new territory for me.

One guy said he's cut filters open and found lubriplate stuck in the filter. I'm wondering if a different brand of assembly lube would be better. Any experience on the CRC stuff with the moly graphite? Or suggestions on other extreme pressure assembly lubes good for a diesel?

I'm told I can make. Prelube kit very easily out of a new air tank. Now the white grease is that similar to the lubriplate 105?

So I should add, typically we unplug the ecm, and turn it over til we get pressure giving the starter a break in the meantime. The oil pressure gauge is manual so a good reference.

The oil pump is gear driven off the crank, so the only way to rotate is to use the starter.

All great information. Thank you. Always like to get the most amount of feedback. And beside this being an oil forum will tell me if it's **** stuff or not lol.

I posted on another forum and forgot about this one. Building a Detroit diesel series 60 engine. I've had 2 suggestions when building. 1. Use an assembly lube on the main, rod, cam bearings. Specifically lubriplate 105 was suggested. 2. No assembly lube, use a pressure primer before you...

Likely no. But thought I'd ask. From all my reading on here they're all great oils from what I understand. I just never got that part

I'm sure. And I'd agree. I just wouldn't understand how an engine can go from using a gallon in 10k miles with one oil, to not using any with another oil. Just seems like there is more to it.

I'm finishing my engine and have a couple questions for the oil guru's..I've used chevron 15w40 religiously in my trucks for 20+ years. I'm now (cause of this forum) looking at oils in a different manner.. My question revolves around what things I've been reading. I know a lot of things can...

Paying more up front at times can mean paying less in the long run. I'm not seeing any reps near me. And I'm not seeing a 35lb pail. I'm going to call Texas refinery today and see what they say.

I will tomorrow. Do you have experience with this grease?

To revive my old thread. I didn't change my gear oil when I started this thread, I did some math and averages and figured I had another year or so on my lube. But being that this pandemic has our work slowed, I'm going to refresh my gear boxes. It's upsetting cause my dealer told me ESI was a...

On my tractor trailer I'm looking for a great option for a chassis grease, brake cams, u-joints, spring pins and so on. A GC-LB grease. I'm currently using mystik JT-6 #2 w/o moly high temp, red tube, red grease. Reading from a lot of people's opinions is why I chose it. I'm needing to buy a...
