burned a quarter quart lol. expected with a new motor as the rings seal.

 

tscomp-

have you concidered running a racing oil like Racing dominator 15W50,,, loaded with zinc and phos helps a little with those touching metal to metal surfaces,,,, i know you been using 20W50 though,, i would like to see a higher zinc and phos oil in the race motor

 

Maybe. I am gonna use the rest of this 20w50 amsoil first though. I have 3 boxes of it

RIght now im using garbage oil for break in. (non synthetic) autozone and advanced auto parts oil

 

keeep that engine alive

 

lets hope you dont total this one boss. if you dont mind pm me how much it cost you to bring it back to life again now that its said and done. Also just curious if you gernaded this one early again would you do this again or let it go??

 

I did not total it or grenade it. The motor burned 3-4 qts of oil on a long trip from pa to oh and i didnt check the oil and it was to late and spun a rod bearing. it only had 5k on it and from my research running at the same speed for over 500 miles is the worst thing you can do to a new engine.

The motor still is using the

same pistons
same rods
same block

It just needed a new crank, new bearings. Its using the same head also.

was 1k for repair and ill pm you price of oem hardware.

 

cool i know you did not gernade it fiqure of speech. btw i posted those pics of Z in my thread for you boss

 

nice will check it out man. ya , i figured.. just didnt want people thinking i grenaded it lol so i had to correct you

 

good to see you got the car running again

 

Why are you burning oil on a new engine ??? I really don't understand this....

Granted I have not built my Evo motor yet, but every other motor that I have built did not leak or burn any oil...

 

Chris-
A little blow by here and there

 

ill post a vid of it running tomorrow.. it really sounds so much better. before there had to be air in lifters.

 

heres video i said id post. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VBaW3PzKbMQ

need to log this. feels awful strong for 25psi. its 25psi creeping to 30, but i wouldn't be surprised if it shows 550+ now.

 

why you using non brand oil on your motor? Even for break in?

 

****s all the same. you're not supposed to break a motor in with synthetic oil. the only thing that will complain is the turbo, which is why i have it running off wastegate pressure right now.

I used autozone, advanced auto, and i have valvoline also. all conventional oils are the same for the most part. after the valvoline im gonna put the amsoil back in. whatever im doing is working.. it already has 10-15psi more compression across then the old motor did. no point in using good oil when you're changing it in 15-25 miles. the idea is to change it and get the metal deposits out of the oil.
