I was doing this 20+ years ago with metal forming dies. What made the demand was the galling of metal being stuck onto the dies during forming. Different tool steels and carbides were tried and different coatings were tried. Different lubricants also were trialed. The best final result was a plain cobalt carbide with no coating and a 2 step polish finish which left a plateau / valley surface.

I think oil is still the weak "seal" on the cylinder wall. Mostly of cars today use a low tension piston ring design. They have thinner piston rings. That is why nowadays fuel dilution is often found in several modern engines, especially direct injection ones
@brarautorepairs4 ай бұрын
New engine oils are using 0W8 and probably won't last long with fuel dilution. I don't run 0W20 in anything I drive even. I want that 30 or 40 weight oil at operating temperature to provide extra cushion especially when an engine starts to wear .

We have had great sealing on our limited dirt modified engines. What we have lacked is the longevity of the cylinder wall finish. We get around 70 to 75 nights before we lose the cross hatch and go to scuffing. This winter, all three of the engines had gone to scuffing. The machine shop switched to some slightly rougher diamonds and we are hopeful that we will get to the 80 night threshold to allow two seasons on a freshen up. We may need to change oils as the engine wears to keep the ring gasket in place. Any suggestions on that part of the process would be greatly appreciated.

Fascinating discussion. Implicit in "ring seating" discussions seems to be the notion that the peaks and valleys are an essential aspect of operation rather than just an artifact of manufacturing. I'm not entirely clear on why this needs to be the case. What if the cylinder surface and the cylinder facing surface of the rings were perfectly smooth? Of course from a manufacturing perspective this cannot happen, but these discussions all seem to hint that trying to pursue this is not a desirable goal. Why not? Also in the video they show a cross hatch pattern on a newly honed cylinder surface. I was under the apparently false impression that the honing/boring would leave the peaks and valleys aligned vertically, i.e. with the direction of piston travel. I don't see how a pattern that isn't exclusively vertical would help with seating. What am I missing?

I love your videos. I found one statement contractictory though that possibly requires clarification; that is that the thin rings have an overall lower friction coefficient when my understanding is that the same cylinder pressure applied to a thinner-ring produces the higher ring friction per contact area of the ring - simply because the contact area is a lot smaller (which would make more sense). That is, unless you mean static ring tension which I would understand although I am sure this is meaningless in a running engine. ?

Great question. The difference here is that piston rings operate in a dynamic and lubricated environment, so the “normal rules” of friction don’t paint a clear picture of what actually happens.

They are talking about the surface finish in the bore of your cylinders, as such it is useful for whoever is machining your engine. In a previous episode they mentioned to start off with a 120 grit diamond stone to get the deep cross hatch 'valleys' (Rvk) which holds the oil, then finish with a 900 grit diamond stone to smooth out the peaks (Rpk). There is also the cross hatch angle, which depends on the length of your stroke (stroke to bore ratio). Go back and watch a few more of their episode to get a better idea.

I don't get it. This is OLD information. I did that in prostock back in 1980 when the prostock "standard" was a super fine hone. I didn't like that so I started a 2 step process I called "plateau honing". 1 pass with a coarse stone almost to size and a light pass with a superfine stone or vs vs. This was to lower friction, improve seal and help control oiling the chamber on our hemi. We kept it secret but of course, like all racing secrets, it got out, sunnen knew what we were doing. Later I tried it on F2000 engines and it didn't work there. They have a terrible fuel wash upper cylinder wear problem that I couldn't solve.

This is why I have been using 2 stroke oil (I got this idea from Lucas UCL) since long time ago, at 0.5% ratio, recently I also tried 1% ratio, and it feels like it doesn’t loose torque at high rpm, although I don’t have a dyno. I know theoretically it might drop octane but 1% can’t drop octane all that much, plus you can always use a higher octane fuel than required to take this factor out of the equation. I wish you guys can make a video with 2 stroke at different ratios to explore the potential influence it can have on an engine in terms of performance.
