The shop I worked at 25 years ago used the Sunnen soft hone brushes which produced a cylinder finish vert similar to the cylinder finish produced after a short break in. There fore a break in was not needed and you could go directly to the race track or dyno with full load pulls.

Lake, you REALLY need to can the "side view" shot of your mug. Looks like yer talking to a wall

Great video...but i have no idea what my bearing clearances are or what my oil temp is running.

I have no friction anymore, I stopped using rings entirely and switched to prenups🤔

The total seal rings weren't enough of a useless gimmick. Introducing gumout useless crap. Good job selling out

Is it just a coincidence this guy is selling "total seal" rings and "gumout" bs products?

So, how do you know if you're getting a paper or wire screen filter? Both filters you showed looked pretty similar to me

The Oil Geek! I didn't realize there was another channel featuring your work! I need list!

I thought I heard that variable cam timing was controlled by oil pressure so changing the viscosity could affect Cam timing negatively. I do use thinker gear oils for my truck the the manufacture says to as I know they want better MPG with the thinner oils. I would rather have more protection.

I would like to know what the difference is from regular automotive oil and Motorcycle oil. Is there a difference that warrants the extra cost of the motorcycle oil vs regular oil?? I personally think there is no difference but it would be nice to know.

I‘m using 100 Octane in my straight injection engine, which costs me about $2.20 per Litre. I know its expensive, but I would rather keep my car running well instead of getting engine damages because of residues.

In Puerto Rico all major brands use Top Tier gas only. You could say older cars have the cleanest fuel systems. Newer cars, may have build-up on the intake valves.

Well I’ll throw an idea out there. I check my oil at a lab ( Blackstone) and I have noticed that metal particles don’t level off till 50k-60k miles. So when is the car engine really broken in?

Filter media life. I worked for BMW while they transitioned from 3-5,000 mile Conventional oil chg. intervals to Synthetic oil and 15,000/ oil condition service indicator light intervals. The plain BMW cellulose-based oil filters quickly hardened, collapsed, cracked and broke up . Then quickly BMW (Mann) filters contained a Synthetic media to last the ridiculous BMW Free Maintenance intervals. Its amazing how many leasing customers refused to bring cars in even once a year for free oil changes. The engines were sludge boxes after 30k to 45k miles. Warranty canceled, all claims denied. Customers pays for stupidity and engine overhaul. Pkease conduct an oil filter comparison. Its ss important ss the oil it self . Congratulations on this great channel. A lubricants gold standard. 🛢️💦👍👍👍👍👍🏆

Is there a fuel additive i can put in the tank with regular fuel to make it top tier? Or is it more than additives? I know everything will probably say Techron, but is that actually tested and true?

Steavo is looking good

Great stuff

I Bet This Is Why My New Engine Always Smoked Out The Crankcase. It A Hydrolic Roller Cam And I Thought Engine Break In Was No Important. I Ran No Break In Oil And Drove It Extremely Light First 500 Miles. It Had About .028" Ring Gap On A 3.810 Bore So i Thought Thats Why It Smoked Out The Breather. Definitely Going To Take Brake In More Seriously After Spending $2,000 On A New Set Of 6 Custom Pistons.

The Ow has more additives that break down over time than the 5w or 10w. The lower the range, the less additives. I was using Castrol Edge 5w40 which was oem for my turbo car. Now I'm doing Castrol Edge 0w40 which had a higher lube rating than the 5w40 but more additives which break down. The 0 should pump faster on start up which prevents wear. The engine seems happy with either and I'm in the Pacific Northwest so we don't have extreme hot or cold weather. I'll just use whichever is cheaper or available..lol I do 10k full synthetic oil changes and filter. 72k and runs like new. Mazda mpv V6 ran Mobil 1 5w30 at 10k oil changes and ran like new for 150k miles and sold car. Cheers

Why must you insist on not including diesel information!?

Theres no recommendations for diesel on that paper. Do you have specs for diesel apps?

I keep looking through these hoping to see Lake Speed Sr show up. I miss the glory days of NASCAR. I run 5/30 in my wife's Chrysler and 0/20 in my Alfa, just as the manufacturer recommends. No problems and we run them long and hard on trips (300+ miles between stops @80mph).

"It last for a while" what is a while?

Piston ring with a key . That match to a position. Where they dont turn . Amd dont loss compression. Normal ring can match where oil and air goes buy. Blow buy. Patten done. Mick Australia

To comment never see on the web. A ring with a position locater one a piston. Where it don't turn around. And compression goes through. If make money Please help me down siddome child 🙏 I have never seen a aring with a key. God bless

My friend ... 🧡 A mith Put ring 180 posited. Is it possible to have a key. On a ring to piston . On the ring so it dont turn on the the piston. Normal ring . With a squre box on the ring. That join the piston . A lock key. Ring stay in place . ? Low by. Mick Australia 🇦🇺. Im sorry. Im not Normal. But think out side box. God bless

I just saw another test where the Amsoil screen backed, filtered best between 22 and 30 microns, but was slightly restrictive compared to the Purolator Boss screen backed. Which company makes the filter is another factor. Napa filters were all made by Wix at one time. But not any more. The Napa screen backed filtered tighter than the Wix XP in a recent test by Brand Ranks. Based on your test and what I have seen, I would use the paper/synthetic fiber filter and not go more than 4 to 5K miles on an oil change. Preferably with a bypass filter installed in addition to the factory filter.

Your test also tells me that a bypass filter is a great thing to have on an engine, in addition to a quality factory type filter.

Wix screen backed filters and Purolator screen backed are 22 micron rated. I don't understand why you would use a 35 micron filter. Also Royal Purple screen backed are 22 micron rated, and may be made at Champion labs, like the Purolator Boss.

How do performance car manufacturers break in engines?

Best rings on the market. Also the best customer service tech line.If you have a question they will answer it.

Man I bet system 1 is not happy to see this. That's what the mesh filter is....................

Great video!! Thanks for posting! I've been using Amsoil oil filters over 30+ years. FYI: "AMSOIL Oil Filters provide a filtering efficiency in accordance with industry standard ISO 4548-12 of 99 percent at 20 microns - one of the best ratings on the market. Some competitors also claim 99 percent efficiency, but at larger particle sizes of 30 to 40 microns."

Can you add too much detergent? I've been using shell 93 in addition to a bottle of STP fuel system cleaner every two oil changes. Am I harming anything?

Dear Mr. Lake, Would like to see some content for everyday vehicles that typical mechanic repairs to put it back on the road. The hot rod engines are a very small part of this industry. Thank you!

Only use Shell 🐚 93

I've got dozens of those TS instructions cards...give them to my engine customers along with my blueprint assembly sheet of course...this is why I demand they tell me honestly what the engine application will be...street competition and boost as well

I'll give them a try

The fuel is only as good as the the cleanliness of the truck that delivers it and the tank it is dropped in

So even on a high mileage engine, unless your burning oil you don't need a thicker oil.

Great video. I was thinking of getting a reusable metal screen filter for my harley instead of the paper filters. After watching this video Im sticking with the disposable paper can filters.

Amsoil 20w-50 racing oil reduces friction around the rings and can drop engine temps by 50 degrees. This is why those who know what Amsoil does love to put this oil in their Harleys. Amsoil even makes oil just for this bike.

Was this an add for shell

Best explanation of all; i was in the wrong, i thought that cold oil would be scraped down , better,by being thicker, but you say otherwise, you say that thin oil,hot oil, is scraped down better?

Power decrease or engine damage doesn’t really happen in one hour! It happens over extended periods of metal particulates in an operating engine.

I have some 100k, 50k, 20k, grit diamond abrasives in syringes I got from a place that was shutting down. I bought some laptops from an auction and that’s where the pick up was at. They threw all this stuff away while cleaning out but it was pretty clear to me they were making hydraulic cylinders and things like that. I was like oh well I’ll help myself I can use some 100k grit stuff. There’s not a lot but I can use to lap heatsinks on pc’s for flatter surfaces and better cpu cooling. I suppose I could use it on crankshaft or something if needed as well to polish.

Are you goofballs gonna talk about it all day or are you gonna do it?

If is not Chevron or she'll and the gas station is not under 5 years old I rarer walk
