bacon grease used as engine oil

Bacon grease in car engine videos... but Project Farm is not welcomed here???

Unbelievable.

They also allow lickity split 10 speed on here, who flat out puts out nonsense, so, yeah. Like @JeffKeryk said to me earlier today, you gotta roll with the punches around here sometimes!

I’ll bet peanut oil would go thousands of miles.

For peanuts compared to bacon prices!

You laugh but Henry Ford and others in the early days of engine manufacture tried bio-based fuels and lubricants because they were afraid that petroleum from the ground would run out soon.

The internet tells me that early Model T's were designed with easily adjustable carb's and manual timing advance so they could run on ethanol/methanol, or a mix of gasoline and alcohol. Makes sense in rural areas where Ford was competing with horses than ran on grass and grains, that the vehicle could be run on locally produced fuels in a pinch.

A shot of Moly into the bacon grease would have done wonders.

Looks like it's cleaning the ring pack right up.

Bacon grease is what Valvoline Restore and Protect uses …

Where is the oil analysis and results ?

Everyone on BITOG knows you shouldn't waste UOA money on an initial fill.

This is entertainment.

Project Farm claims to be testing.

Big difference

Ron White goes by "Tater Salad" so AmateurBob could adopt a moniker like "Piggy Grease" or maybe even "German Tater Salad."

I prefer being called the "Porcine Pimp".

Maybe even the Pork Pretender!

Are there any comparison tests running Euro spec bacon grease?

Seriously???

The guy examines the engine with a boroscope, runs a compression test of the cylinders, and gives an analysis of his results. He discusses cylinder wall crosshatching, particulates, piston rings, valve stem seals, and cams.

That's not "entertainment" at all. That's a straight faced pseudo scientific analysis of a test he ran with bacon grease.

If you have even more time to waste, here’s one where they run Rico’s cheese for oil.

I’m amazed that these “alternative lubricants” build and maintain pressure as well as they do.

This goes along with using leather for a bearing insert .....

Yes they did. My dad (who would be 124 years old if still alive) talked about using leather for a bearing insert. I don't know if that was a way to get by until parts arrived, or "we have to get to town somehow", or a "no money for parts" solution.

Sounds like the folks with their jalopies in a Steinbeck novel.
