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
@brarautorepairs6 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 .
@davelowetsАй бұрын
The thin rings aren't the problem at all... Thin rings are a win win situation. There's no down side to using them, only advantages. It's the thinner oil that is used today that is a big part of the problem... The super thin oil that is used is ONLY to meet todays strict EPA fuel economy requirements. It does NOT do your engine any good as far as wear goes. Everything wears faster with the very thin oil, including the rings and bores. The tension that is manufactured into the rings has another part to do with it. The factories are using a lower radial tension on the rings to further reduce friction and increase economy. A thin ring CAN be made with a normal amount of tension, and last as long, or even longer than a thicker one. A direct injection engine SHOULD have a much less concentration of oil in the fuel because of the much finer control over the air/fuel ratio compared to port injection. The lower tension rings are partly to blame here, but it is the very thin oil that has a larger part to do with it than just ring tension. The bores and rings simply wear out faster due to the thin oil. I will NEVER run a 0W-8 or a 0W-16 motor oil in ANY car that I own. I personally don't CARE about the slight loss of MPG's and WILL go with a thicker oil. The sudden loss of reliability and added wear on today's newer engines isn't because we've went backwards in engine tech. It's because of the mandated use of such thin oil in order to meet the strict EPA fuel economy requirements, and the faster engine wear that comes along with it.
@gregorymalchuk272Ай бұрын
@@davelowets Low tension rings start hydroplaning on thicker oils. Lake Speed Jr. has made videos on this. The only thing you can do is use a high solvency oil like Valvoline R&P to avoid sludging up oil drain back holes. Or tear apart the motor and put different rings or even pistons in to work with thicker oils.

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?

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 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. ?

Hi Lake, I have been watching may of your videos. I was wondering if laser cut valleys for oil retention. How deep would the valleys need to be? Could this be good solution to a glazed cylinder. The parts are fully matted, but with no oil retention the seal is poor, but would not necessarily mean the cylinder is out of round. Fiber galvo laser cycling it up and down would be a bit of a challenge. Could there be a optimal pattern over just the X, maybe dots like fine braille.

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.

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.
