An engine bearing is a small and relatively inexpensive component, of an internal combustion engine. However, failure of an engine bearing most often leads to, serious reconditioning work of the engine. Most often, including its […]
A customer changes his brand of oil and then, complains of low or high oil pressure. So, is this perception or reality, and is one condition actually better than the other. Why don’t customers complain […]
So, engine oil sludge, is actually the thickening, and breaking down of your engine oil. As a result, it’s increasingly less able to do the hard work, of lubricating and cleaning the engine. Engine oil […]
Your typical oil filter has to perform, a crucially important job. The oil filter removes, solid contaminants, such as dirt, carbon and metal particles from the engine. Before, they can damage bearings, and cylinder wall […]
First, engine piston rings, have one of the most important jobs. Because, they seal the combustion chamber, while dissipating heat. And, they need to ensure that no oil reaches the combustion chamber, while keeping the […]
Valve stem seals, control the lubrication of the valve stem, as it moves up and down in the valve guide. By specific design, all valve stem seals are made to include, a precisely controlled leak. […]
When changing your oil, one of the worst things to notice, is the smell of gas in the oil. Because, it means that gas, is somehow making its way into your engine’s oil. However, it […]
Engine bearing clearance, is very important and can cause early failures if not correct. Engine bearings should operate with, the least amount of engine bearing clearance as possible. So, tighter oil clearances, produce less peak […]
Zinc additives in engine oils, have been recommended by most engine manufacturers for years. So, why do we have lower zinc and phosphorus levels, in modern engine oils. Consequently, the American Petroleum Institute (API), has […]
Suddenly, an engine oil pressure warning light or a low oil pressure reading, appears on your dash. At that point, the engine oil pressure warning, is the only thing you should be thinking about. Above […]
The first sign of trouble, may be a flickering oil light or a low engine oil pressure reading. Consequently, low engine performance, engine noise and even poor starting, can all be caused by, low engine […]
So, a poor maintenance routine, is the biggest cause, of engine lubrication problems. And, extended oil change intervals, are partly responsible for low engine oil levels and subsequent, engine lubrication problems. As a result, excessive […]
Engine sludge forms, as engine oil oxidizes and breaks down. Also, during oxidation the oil combines with dirt, fuel, metallic particles, water, gases, and coolant. Consequently, leaving behind deposits, recognized as engine sludge. Because, the […]
The purpose of the valve stem seal, is to prevent the oil from the cylinder head, entering the combustion chamber. So, the valve stem seal, plays a critical role in, controlling valve lubrication, as well […]
Most importantly, fuel getting into engine oil is bad. Because, it lowers the lubricating qualities of the oil. And, also lowers the engine oil viscosity, causing the oil to thin out, to a dangerous level. […]
