When are we testing those dimpled pistons you guys supply rings for!?! Would love a video on that!

That gain is everywhere, and if you think about it in racing terms, it's actually huge. This means you can turn the engine down just that little bit and still be as fast as the others. That means you don't have to carry as much fuel, which makes you lighter, which means you have less stress on your tires. Just that little extra flexibility may only gain you fractions of a second per lap, but after 100 laps, that turns into a sizable gain.

Need to get that long term data about the longevity of the ring and the cylinder wall over many hours of being ran.I'm curious as over time if the ring wears more and gets to that harder part of the coating if we see increased friction and/or wear.

be the same on any engine less is more ..ill be doing the 460 with their stuff on the tow truck less heat less oil damage rings are not chewing up the oil as fast less wear on on a hill hot day end of oil change life thats wear this method is sweet .and saves lots of money i can tune efi on megsquirt / microsquirt efi leaner in a cruise stop with a lot less worries

@MichaelCzajka3 ай бұрын
@MichaelCzajka If you bond a lubricant to the rings and bore you can drop the friction dramatically while reducing wear and improving compression. This approach would work on any engine and would not require replacing the rings. Even your improved rings would benefit from this approach as it's synergistic. 🙂
@MichaelCzajka3 ай бұрын
Reply The highest friction part of the engine is the interface between the piston and bore. There is only one lubricant that forms a permanent bond with the metal and requires a single application: XcelPlus You can treat both via the oil and via the fuel. The Combustion Chamber Treatment (applied via the fuel) is the one with the greatest potential to reduce friction in this critical area.
@optimumperformance69983 ай бұрын
Lake are the cylinder bore surface numbers different for these rings different on the same fuel? Obviously, Don's engines require a different one with the fuel used, but due to the sealing properties of these rings and coating, do these require a different recipe? Possibly, they are more forgiving, which lends itself high production finishes?

This coating is more forgiving of surface finish

Ok, so I know this is an off topic question but the replys on your older video have slowed down. If I have a newly built hydraulic lifter motor that's manufacturer recommended to run on 5W-20 oil but no one (except for lucas oil) makes 5W-20 break-in oil, which oil should I use? I assume the viscosity at running temp is important since the oil has the functional job of running through the pushrods and filling up the lifters. I get that seating the rings is the priority here, but if I ran a break-in oil thicker than that wouldn't it jeopardize the valvetrain? Or is there a distributer that I can special order 5W-20 break-in from?
