One of our members here had a taxi biz in Canada and ran Panther chassis cars to 400k miles regularly. My son is a huge Panther fan, currently rocking a 175k mile Town car, absolutely still a tight engine. Quiet and smooth as silk. He's now had at least 4 of them in every configuration, Grand...

Wallace Racing wants the Density Altitude for your location and time to be very accurate. In addition it needs an accurate weight including driver. Simple calculator yields 310 to 339 hp based on ET and mph against weight at 4600 pounds. As an example, my sig car, rated at 425 hp and weighing...

Ha. Many of you are illuminating why my old SRT8 has been such a keeper. 14.2 inch front rotors are under 75 bucks and 13.8 inch rears about the same or less. I have one set of "bling" rotors that are slotted and drilled. They will likely be machined for the second time this year. My other...

First of all, the overwhelming majority of FCA owners are happy. Second, they do indeed have some real dogs in their line up. Our anecdotal experience is good here. We own a 300C SRT8 bought new in 05, as well as a 14 RAM sport. Both have been exemplary combinations of performance and...

As I have stated many times, we run our factory coolant to well in excess of 200k miles regularly. Dex is a huge non-issue. We never touch it until something breaks and we have to dump it for repairs. Amazing problem, and for the record there isn't a spec of copper anywhere in our GM fleet...

I was left out. My sig car shipped with Laser Platinums and they do not offer a Ruthenium plug for my application!

Originally Posted by Propflux01 Well, it was a thought. Its for a Hyundai 2.0 GDI. I don't know how bad the valves are, I have used Techron a few times. There are no issues, was looking mostly at PM for it. Kreen is a great additive for older engines with build up issues. It really works well...

I love the operation of our 3500 service vans in cold weather because the torque converter stays unlocked for a while until things warm up a bit. Much smoother, perfect shifts. I wonder if that's really what the OP is feeling here...

Noisy is not fast. The two are often confused. What if everybody had loud pipes?

Propflux, the intake would have to be hot and the kreen introduced as a vapor for even a chance of even distribution. Dry intakes are not designed for the pooling and uneven distribution of a liquid. I'll bet jssaab drives his supercharged jag a bit, people who use the engine rarely get gunked...

Another kreen success story. I have fleet trucks all GM 5.3's and 6.0 gas engines. Kreen does wonders when the mileage gets high, cleans the entire PCV system and gets the carbon off the heads, too! Great stuff...

Originally Posted by Phishin Kreen is good stuff. I've used it in my Honda a few times. I use it in my tractors to clean up gunky heads/piston tops. Change the PCV valve, pour a quart in the engine, a quart in the tank, and drive it around. It will do some good cleaning. I have also used...

One oil analysis is not worthy of big assumptions. As stated above Ti is not a wear metal in your engine. Silicon is interesting, generally due to air filtration. Your next UOA will likely be very different...

After using Kreen on many vehicles here we concluded that it can clean the entire PCV tract very well as it evaporates from the sump during operation. Seems to me to be an easy jump to it cleaning a DI engine's intake valves....

If your 6L80E has the factory rubber gasket do not damage it. It is very reusable and much better than the cork cheapies...

Aaargh. My heart goes out to you to work so diligently and get a poor result! My son is a paint specialist so I know enough to leave this type of stuff to him. Good luck on the re-try!

I grew up with a 65 TR-4 in my driveway, it became my first car. What a POS, but anywhere you stopped there was a young girl wanting to go for a ride! Taught me a lot about fixing my own ride, it was constantly broken. Alas it was stolen and cut up...
