Oil Cavitation IS an Issue

[bigike]

PSI told me we need to upgrade to the 08 oiling system................

jack can we borrow some money.....................

There is more to it than that........

 

[English Gent]

Oil and sludges etc

I use a kleeneze by-pass filter - this ports the oil to a by pass feed through a filter that will do NAS 6 cleanliness and takes out all water - the filter is a paper filter that is slooow - hence by pass rather than inline.
Plenty of room in the engine bay and this is a real life saver on any engine. Most oil filters don't filter particles small enough - they cant because they have to flow the volume.
and no additives - just premium grade synthetic

Have you guys checked the VCA and searched to see if this is a problem over there. There is alot more technical stuff on that website

i was wonderin' the same thing it would be interesting to know

How do you know that it was acctually cavitation?? Frothy oil? Low Oil Pressure??:dontknow:

More info on the kleeneze by-pass filter... Did a google search and came up with virtually nothing on this specific brand.

Premium oils have all the components necessary for the proper lubrication of your engine.

everything but the ammount of zinc. with the new format of oils, they had cut the zinc levels so the cats would last over 150K miles vice the 100K miles of the old regulations

Was it zinc or phosphorus,? Now that you jogged

my memory I recall some endurance racers using a percentage of M/C

synthetic because of some element that it contained.

If it was oil cavitation why just #3 ? All the bearings should be scored if cavitation is present. What about the skirts of the pistons,were they scored? Oil is used to cool and lube the piston skirts too. Below is a pic of a dry sump that will resolve any oil pressure problems. I posted it in the thread where Jack mentioned it. Made by Daily Engineering. Quality piece that will resolve oil pressure issues.

 

[ARRESTmeRed04]

i sent daily an e-mail asking them 1.for a price and 2. if they have heard anything about our engines chewing up #3 and also invited them to come ove and post up any info they may have for us, who know maybe they have the answer

Just use the Mobil 1 Truck Turbo Diesel oil and it still has the old formulation.At least it did when I bought it.There is a thread about it here somewhere.

 

[Scrambler1]

Shell Rotella diesel oil is the stuff, still the good old blend for now. Also I've been told to use a heavier weight oil, like 10w40 at a min, Xw50 for supercharged engines.

good point, why just or mainly #3 ?? if not cavitation but low oil pressure - is this the answer ?

btw, i've never noticed low oil pressure on my engine, are others noticing it on theirs ??

i have 93k on my qc,race it all the time,maybe u have a bad block but i sure dont

well ,besides the obvious joke,i carry my lawn tractor and other tools in my truck so theres probably close to an extra 1000 pounds always in it,i have gone 15000 miles inbetween oil changes ,so if this problem really did exist my engine would have popped quite awhile ago

Probably your custom exhaust that has saved the engine..

sounds good. hope its in the budget.
post up when ya hear.:rock: :rock: :rock:

Who has the grooved bearings available?
