Lab created are not natural. Lab created are real diamonds just like naturally created mined ones are. Just like IVF children are real children.

Honesty of the seller....plus diamonds are not worth crap anyway on the used market. This whole diamond thing is just a marketing thing started by DeBeers many years ago. They control the supply end of things to keep the prices high. There is nothing rare about diamonds...

We are talking lab created ones, as in REAL diamonds. We are not talking artificial ones. Two COMPLETELY different things.

Please educate yourself before spewing nonsense. Lab created diamonds are identical to the overpriced natural ones. The only way to tell them apart is to test for the presence of nitrogen, which natural ones have while lab created ones don't...

I know. However, they all have their own proprietary detergents which are added to the fuel upon delivery. There is EPA level and then there is Top Tier levels...... https://www.aaa.com/AAA/common/AAR/files/Fuel-Quality-Full-Report.pdf

Using higher octane gas will do nothing for IVD of GDI engines! First of all, the fuel never even touches the back side of the valves where the buildup occurs. Secondly, when using Top Tier fuels as recommended by a lot of manufactures these days, ALL octane grades of fuel MUST meet Top Tier...

Which is nothing more than them summarizing the AAA report I linked to above, which can be found -HERE-.

....and a slew of other manufacturers. It just wasn't GM. Get your facts straight before spewing nonsense. https://www.toptiergas.com/ Results of 3rd party testing: https://www.aaa.com/AAA/common/AAR/files/Fuel-Quality-Full-Report.pdf Again, complete nonsense...

You can use whatever you want, HOWEVER, you need to make sure a good system flush is done. I converted my GM car from Dexcool to GO5 and my ATV to GO5. In the process now of converting an old '73 Pontiac motor from the old school green stuff to GO5....well Peaks version of it...

I recently tested some coolant with strips ( https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01CNHJ4QI?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title ). One vehicle the Dexcool coolant was from 2008 and has ~26K on it and the other was GO5 from 2005 and has about 6K on it. Both tested out just fine. They also passed the...

We got our Maple recently from a rescue organization. Her older "sister" we also got from a rescue. She's 9 months now.

Photo's of it in progress and with the old interior. Keep in mind, I was a 17 year old kid and I started with a $300 car that we had to pull out of a snow bank with a blown motor. One thing I would have done differently knowing what I know now is I would have started with a better rust free...

Here's a copy/paste from back when I had a car website. Photos are from when it was cleaned up right after I fixed it from hitting a deer in 2002. It has been sitting in the garage for the past 10-12 years or so and is very dusty now, but it will soon be getting cleaned up again. My plan is...

Looks like M1 15w50 has a healthy dose of it and is for flat tappet applications.

YEP! Which is what oil? I know Driven oils has this one. https://drivenracingoil.com/i-30497806-hr5-10w-40-conventional-hot-rod-oil.html

I'm 52 and I bought the car and swapped the motor over after I had just turned 17. Bought car Good Friday of '89 and I was born Feb '72. Hard to believe I've had it now for over 35 years....with the motor being in the family now for over 50 years.

hey now, you mean a whopping 175hp out of a 400CI engine is not considered high output. :ROFLMAO:

I did replace the timing chain back when I did the oil pump, IIRC. I know I did the chain for sure, not 100% sure I did the gears though. I would think I would have seeing I think it's common practice to replace them as a set, as they wear as a set.

Soon I'm going to be pulling out my old HS car ('77 Cutlass) that has been sitting for 10-12 years. I have started it every year or two, but it's way past it's OCI. LOL Engine still runs great. I'm just curious as to what oil you guys would run in an old engine like that? I'm thinking Mobil...

Really? I guess what they (SS Admin) are saying I will be given at age 70 per month is a fair amount more than what I am actually currently living on (after healthy 401K and savings contributions). I guess I don't need a lot of money to live on. I have zero debt.
