Purolator Boss PBL25288 C&P

[BrendanC]

1999 Ford ranger 5.3L LM7 (chevy LS motor) out of a tahoe no idea on mileage.
in service for initial start ups and a BG EPR flush.
2k RPM’s for 20 minutes.

out/off: M1 EP HM 5w-30 and BG EPR with Purolator BOSS PBL25288

in/on: 6 quarts Fram syn 5w-30 with carquest premium 85522 premium guard with silicone gasket.


this is the single nastiest filter i’ve ever seen. the amount of buildup in the bottom is impressive.

thinking about running a quart of HPL EC30 in this truck at the next oil change.

Think I’d go straight to HPL 5w30 HDEO CK-4 oil

Nice photos and great cut and post. I Thank You sir

the owner won’t spring for HPL oil, i’ll just pay for a quart of EC30 for the next OCI. probably mix it with some valvoline R&P as the engine is still filthy inside.

That BG must be some aggressive stuff. There must be some real junk in that engine. That is beyond loaded. Some 5w-40 Diesel engine oil may be a cheaper option than HPL EC to help carry some of that soot. Is it putting out above OEM HP that you know of?

A Ford Ranger with an LS sounds like a ton of fun. Back in high school (2007ish) a friend put a Chevy 350 in a reg cab S-10. That was a really fun truck.

yes, we shoved a TSP cam in it and that’s when i noticed how nasty it was inside.

it is a single cab step side lowered on 01 mustang wheels and tires. we also just put a built 4l60e with a inline 6 trailblazer converter in it today. absolutely blisters the tires off of it first through third. will be getting cal-tracs and a sticky tire soon. this is the second one we’ve done, the other one is a full race pre-runner on 37’s. King 3.5 coil overs in the front and a bed cage and 2.5’s in the rear with a massive chevy full sized deaver leaf pack in the rear.

Heck man I thought this filter was off a diesel just by the looks of that filter… Holy cow.

Yor idea with the HPL diesel oil would be a good idea in this case.

Rough.

 

[KCJeep]

In this instance not using a filter with high efficiency is probably a really good idea.

Wow, that's hideous! I'd be concerned that liberating all that material risks damaging the bearings, that's a LOT of junk!

i don’t think the engine will live a long life regardless. the truck is being built for his 18 y/o son

The oil pump is taking a beating too. I'd be checking the oil pickup screen for any possible blockage.

idled at 38 psi hot and 55psi at 2500rpm on a mechanical gauge after the flush. i’ll make him do another oil change after paint/body and we’ll see what it looks like. this motor won’t be coming out of the truck until it blows and the oil pan cannot be removed in the truck. there is a built 6.2 waiting for either truck once one of the 5.3’s let go.

Got a borescope with LEDs on the camera?
