[@tiredoldmechanic1791]

Back in my dirt track racing days, we used to pull engines out of junk cars that were dirtier than that. We ran straight 40 Valvoline racing oil in them and after a few races, they were clean inside. We ran it because the Super America stations would have a sale on it in the spring. We bought cases of 24 cans for $7 a case in the 70s. The 40 weight kept the oil pressure up and the engines didn't smoke as much. In Florida, you could run 40 or even 50 weight oil. No need for multi-grade oils if it doesn't get cold.

67 year old mechanic. Back in the day we would put a quart or two of Ford ATF in the crankcase. It did a wonderful job cleaning push rods and eliminating sticky hydraulic lifters. I bought a used 76 Blazer in Alaska. When I got it the engine would clack at 50F for about 15 or twenty minutes. That's how bad the sludge was. After two oil changes with 2 quarts of ATF and Mobil One synthetic the engine would not make a sound at -40F. ATF is designed for tremendous pressure and long life so if you aren't racing during the cleaning cycle it does a really great job. Love your channel and your integrity.

I agree, I’d drop the pan, clean out the oil pickup tube, replace the oil pump, and change the timing chain and tensioner. That many miles means there is slack in a lot of the parts

[@douglasburnside]

Sure, then as long as you're in there, do the rod and main bearings. Better do the front and rear main seals too. Since the crank is out to do the rear main seal, better pull the heads and pistons so you can hone the cylinder bores and replace the rings. Since the heads are off, do the valve guide seals, and since the valves are out for the seals, better replace the guides. New guides means you should regrind the valves and seats to get proper sealing. Of course, since you already replaced the oil pump, you really should replace the water pump too, and no sense replacing the timing chain without replacing all the chain guides, the tensioner (does the jeep use a chain tensioner?), and all the belt pulleys and tensioner too. Finally, since everything else has been refurbished and replaced, why not make it a clean sweep and change out the alternator too. Ah, the hazards of "...while you're in there." 😀

[@Parknest]

Some oil flushes will dislodge the deposits but leave them elsewhere in the enigne. This is why you do an oil flush just before you drain the engine oil to get rid of the depsoits before they end up elsewhere in the enigne. The BG products get round this problem by keeping the deposits suspended in the oil so that they will all come out when the oil is drained. I suspect that whoever did the oil flush just added it after the oil was changed. Anyway, I swear by BG products myself and I absolutely trust them.

Proof that you should service your oil and filter every 5,000 miles since it’s just such cheap insurance for your motor.

I’m interested to see the oil filters on the next video.

[@44hawk28]

Put about a half a quart of transmission fluid in that thing and it will do wonders for the valve guide seals and the pan gasket probably. And it will do the final cleaning of most everything in there. Marvel Mystery Oil works great about a week before an oil change especially in that older style engine. It even works good in the new engines especially things like a 5.4 L Ford that has those small oil passages which operate the cam phaser. As well as the 4.7 and 3.6 others that have the hydraulic valve lash Adjusters.

[@creekdweller9662]

Any a owner of automobiles, I can’t stress this enough. Change your oil every 3,000 miles. Oil filters do not trap carbon. The percentage of carbon only rises as the miles tick off. And where do they land and cook off but around the piston and oil control rings. Every 3,00 miles keeps the carbon to a minimum as it winds its way through the system. Car makers tell you that every ten thousand Miles is recommended, but keep in mind, they are in the business of selling cars. The cleaner you keep your oil the longer the engine lasts.

a lot of us used ATF and #2 diesel (though #1 would have been better).

[@colinm1325]

Hey Dom, does that work in Diesel engines also? Thanks

I recently used this BG product on an Audi A4 I bought in December knowing oil consumption past the rings may be an issue. Before the cleaning the car was using a quart of oil every 300 miles. After the cleaning it is using almost no oil and fuel economy is up about 20%. At the start of the cleaning process lots of smoke came out the exhaust but by the end of the process there was no smoke. Hopefully the effects are long term.

[@michaeljohnson4578]

The smoke looked white not blue, is that just because of the camera? Keep up the good work!!

[@ferrumignis]

When it's oil smoke you only see the blue tint clearly when it disperses out into the air away from the tail pipe.

[@firstlast7152]

Any reason to not just do a brief spray of cleaner and then go at the inside of the valve cover with a wire brush? Seems like it'd be the most efficient way to get that carbon buildup off at the end there.

I am waiting for the day when Ray throws the brake clean car across the shop floor and it lands in the upright and proper manner. That will be a very very good day. Let’s go!

[@DennisDodd-ke7bd]

Ray knows his tech ver well. All vechile tech should as good as Ray. I would make a trip from LA to have Ray complete engine and Trans service. If I ever get to FL, I would call ahead for an appointment. I enjoy your KZbin shows, Ray. Love your expertise!!!

[@joemuncie9187]

Nice video Ray, as usual. How do you feel about pre-filling vertical oil filters? WRENCHING WITH KENNY and I think that any reduction in "dry run" time is a good thing. I can't imagine any negative side effects, but please weigh in. Thanks.

I owned a 88 jeep Cherokee when I sold it t had 488,000 on it and didn't use a drop of oil. 4.0 great jeep. Changed oil every 5 k.

[@MikhailScottKy]

If it continues to smoke you might want to check the stem seals. It seems that the 4.0l engine will be a little smoky if those get hardened.

Hi ray I had Vauxhall viva back in 1976 with low oil pressure and stuck rings I drained the oil and run it around for a day with parraffin in it worked a treat 👍👍 good on ya fella

[@petersomma4407]

What happened to your fancy oil filter removal tool?

[@opendstudio7141]

New is the keyword. Old habits die hard.

[@JeffHegeman]

For the hot oil filter, you should implement a technique from the bbq world. Put a cotton glove under your nitrile/latex glove. It gives you great dexterity while providing decent heat resistance.

Im a regular here, but this video will prove to be super useful to me as I likely have sludged up piston rings that is causing a lot of oil smoke to be emitted from my exhaust in my 240sx. Thanks so much for making this! I have already replaced my valve stem seals while rebuilding my engine head (have not touched my core engine internals yet), and ever since the blue smoke issue persisted, I was planning on pulling the engine out and doing a full rebuild. I am wondering if it would be worth to attempt this first. If I have excessive oil burning, how likely is it that it is due to piston rings being really sludged up versus them being too worn (along with cyl walls)? The engine sat for 6 years before I bought the car. Since the bp kit you used is $~300, I am weighing my options.

[@voxexquis]

Pull your spark plugs and check for oil residue in the chamber. Get a compression test done and record your numbers. Consider picking up an engine bore scope if you'd like a view inside the block before you tear down your core for a rebuild. If you're working with a ka24de like I think you are and you've rebuilt the head, rings may be gone and looks like you're in for rebuilding the internals with an overhaul kit and having your block tested/machined. A BG service like this will no doubt clean up your rotating assembly but I'm skeptical on whether it'd repair an internal seal by cleaning out buildup and debris. Best of luck to you

My dad loved STP OIL treatment, added so much to his 455 that it had trouble turning over when cold. We added some diesel to the oil.

[@bradman7110]

Love the videos. question for you you intro a lot of these jeeps as project vehicles are they your own vehicle or do you like fix them up and get them back on the trails? or maybe to demo some of the BG products. I always like to see proof of products so this one is really cool to me to see the change.

[@forgetfulme1719]

Bought them for the show or Jeep Heaven attract all with ailments to come.

[@frigginFin]

"Fire in the hole!!" That was a good one, Troy... 🤣😎

[@samduty554]

That was definitely a great video.❤
