Comp Cams can measure wear down to a millionth of an inch. Flat tappet cams for NASCAR have welded lobes and use the Ford diameter .875” direct lube (Howard’s Cams) lifters. In this application the lifters will fail before the camshaft lobes round off. The cam and lifters only have to last the...

In the navy you can sail the seven seas. In the navy you can put your mind at ease.

Could be the 38 year old valve seals. For cleaning up the rings and grooves, Delo or Duron SAE 40 works for me without the snake oil additives.

Go around the back of a MB dealership near the shop entrance and you will find empty M1 0W40 FS and Mobil synthetic ATF drums. I took a photo with my phone when a service writer wouldn’t sell me a transmission pan gasket. He was gone for about five minutes and said it will be about $250. For...

Back in the day we used to shoot .22 short in LR rifles because that’s what we could afford at 12 years old. It didn’t take long before we couldn’t close the bolt on LRs without getting in there with a wire brush on a drill.

How does LSJ test engine oils? No API, ACEA or other governing body certifications or manufacturers’ tests or approvals. Just three pulls on a dyno with a 70 year old engine design with a ft camshaft followed by a UOA. Thankfully nobody here is falling for it.

Yesterday; 200ml Husqvarna XP oil plus 6L premium E-zero boat gas = 30:1

Duron 10w30, and PC just rolled out a synthetic offering. 91-12.3-3.6

My deleted LML Duramax stays clean like that. Before the delete, it would be black the next day. With the price of oil filters doubling in the last few years, you might as well get your money’s worth.

Anyone who’s monkey’s with AMCs knows how much their V8 engine blocks weigh. In the 90s my go-to winter oil was Esso XD-3 0W40. The other three seasons, mostly in small and big block Chevs, SAE 30 or 15w 40. My son’s 350 van on LPG used 15w50 Delvac year round. Back then, he lived in the...

Most new car dealerships will price match. Ever notice how often salespeople poke their noses in the service waiting rooms trying to upsell customers into a new car or truck?

I looked into that on the build and price feature on GMs website. It depends on which Corvette with what options. One thing missing on dealership lots are tons of three year old Corvette lease returns. Most of the used Cadillacs are low mileage lease returns with every option at half the cost...

We have Petro-Canada lubricants. What more could you ask for? We’re not sending money, but instead M777s, extra barrels and stale dated 155mm ammo.

Noack, evaporation losses also counter thinning from permanent shear.

I forgot the sister Hose Anna.

Haven’t you heard, it’s the 0w20. There’s no sense in replacing the engine and using the same thin oil. What do you call repeating an experiment over and over expecting a different result?

Then you wanna Tonawanda, not one built by Hose A and his brother Hose B.

I’d be happy with a 9.9L V12 based off the 6.6L HD truck engine.

Only your hairdresser knows for sure.

The first thing that came to mind when I read it was the drug tPA. Intelligent molecules breaking up sludge clots in your engine.
