Re: An expensive lesson learned
Thank you. Based on what a lot are saying in this thread, all of my rides should have had wiped cams 5 or 6 years ago. For several years, before I rebuilt my truck's engine, I used the cheap Q-state oil, and it was lucky if I changed that oil every 10,000 miles! It had 212,000 miles on it and still ran down the road when I pulled it. I don't use Q-state any more and change oil every 3,000 miles, but I don't worry about ZDDP, and they still work. I don't have any non-stock, aggressive cams either.

again good luck.. the need for the zinc isn't some ole wifes tail.. and some of this bad info, like say'n amsol is fine, is why new engines are failing within 5-10k after break in.. my engines have to much money in them to "chance it" anything under 1200ppm is not enough and it's not just the cams and lifters it's the valve stems and rocker tips and balls. (non roller) any part that slides. new engines don't have these issues, as most are ohc and the hold out ls is roller |

Re: An expensive lesson learned
oops just figured out it isnt a connectingrod but a pushrod , did you check the clearance on the springwindings at full lift , it could allso be if you have hydraulic lifters that the one with the bend pushrod pumps up a but under stress check the return oilhole inside the lifterbore and if theres a hole in a different place compared to the other lifters or holes you can allso check the oilseal on top of the valveguide to see if by any chance the thingy holding the spring to the valvestem hit it ..... that should be eaziest to check first right after checking the windings at full lift allso check if the rocker is hitting the valve straight on , basicly anything that can cause binding

To say that its ams oils fault that cars blow up is a sad remark. My bro in law runs it in his corolla since brand new an has the oil tested regularly an NO PROBLEMS of wear what so ever. It won't protect driver stupidity, no oil can. I've seen proof that ams oil works an others don't compare... Sorry truth hurts sometimes. Posted via Mobile Device

Re: An expensive lesson learned
Big difference between a Corolla and our trucks.
