At Total Seal Piston Rings, we love engines, compressors and anything else that needs a piston ring. We work hard to improve the efficiency and longevity of that equipment. We do that by applying the science of Tribology (friction, wear and lubrication) to the pistons, piston rings and cylinders. Each week we will post new content that shows how piston rings can increase the performance of your engine or compressor.

Until the engines at temperature! Unless you plan on honing the cylinders while the engine is at operating temperature, a torque plate is worthless.

Fred Catlin has 455cid Buicks done this way. Back in the early 1990’s Ole Fred was the champion - undefeated
No matter what the topic, When Lake brings a video, its going to be great. Thank You Lake, All of the love in the world to you. Now to figure out of the new Mobile-1, 0W8 is a good oil compared to Pennzoil 0W16.. The cost is higher, but usually the addicitve package isnt as good as Pennzoils. Would love feedback on it.
I appreciate that, and thanks for the suggestion!
This is sorta like what we would do back in the day when you would do a re-ring and bust the glaze. Just amazing how far we’ve come !!!
Yep!
Used spray bores are junk.
Greetings from Concord, NC! Thanks for this video. I’ve recently gotten into the hobby of rebuilding old Suzuki race motorcycles and knowing they have a NikaSil coating, this info will certainly serve me well down the road if I should ever have to do any cylinder work. It’s cool knowing how the Plasma spray bore coatings work. I’ve learned a TON from your channel and your videos!! -Josh
Thanks!
If i brought a block into a shop for a rebuild, would the average machinist know what this is and not to bore it oversized?
I would hate to speculate on that
Nope...you'll need to educate your engine-boring machinist & pray his inflated ego allows him to learn something new. Best regards, Ben
Whats the longevity of this surface compared to current methods of honing that are being used and the difference in cost? The visual image in my head is the standard crosshatch doing better at containing a controlled amount of oil. Interesting process.
It's actually a more durable surface.
Thank you for your knowledge and videos USA 🇺🇸 TRUMP 2024 2024
I've experienced seeing these types of liners during my factory training at BMW years ago with the Nikasil, and it also reminds me of the Honda B21a engine back in 1990 with the FRM (fiber reinforced metal) cylinders. Both were extremely smooth, definitely different looking to the naked eye, and almost no crosshatch at all. Oddly enough the Honda FRM would eat rings like crazy and you would have tons of oil consumption and black smoke once it got to a certain mileage, but I never did experience ring wear with the BMW's. Thanks for the detailed info about working with these liners. 👍👍
You can't go wrong with Lake. Always interesting. Thanks.
Thanks!
I'm starting to think that the big OEM's are making things more expensive just because they can.
You're just getting there? Must be new to the game,, it's been happening for decades at least, arguably since the well before the 90's
@@kevinbowers3917 actually, I was there in the 80's when the torx head and spring locks were introduced. My sarcasm just wasn't clear enough.
@@psychoholicslag4801 gotcha, word
@@kevinbowers3917 my dad was a flathead ford hot rodder and called the engineers button pushing morons and college educated idiots.
Does Ford use spray bore in all of their engines or just the Coyote? What about the 3.5 Ecoboost?
Not all of their engines, but they do use it on the Coyote engines. Not sure about the EcoBoost.

Let’s see a real race Billy Ben and lake racing donkeys see what you really know about going fast
many years ago I worked for Textron , Homelite division. We used anodized aluminum for the bore and used a grit blast process to make the pits for oil retention. It worked.
I have one of those chainsaws from the 80's. It's still going strong.
Interesting. Is there any documentation or similar you could link?
@@maximilianlindner only my memory. It was replaced by hard chrome so it must not have been as good as chrome..
What kind of camshaft my Tucson 1.6 crdi 2019 have?
,,, thank you ,,, !
You bet!
I had this on speed x2 because I'm not going to live to be 2 thousand years old and the info was still too slow.
Put a Magnet on the bottom of the oil filter..
Not sure how many more of these I can watch. Thanks for not actually telling me which filter ruined the engine.
Lake Speed Jr, Total Seal Piston Rings. I was wondering, how do I get into the study of tribology?! Watching you explain and the information you give makes me want to get into this also❤
Check out the STLE.org website!
Of course Lake is going to analyze the oil. He gets to wear his lab coat, pocket protector and big 👓
LOL
When you think of bearings, its like a mirror. And if you throw small pariticles of dust on a mirror and wipe it it will leave scratches.
I pay not to have commercials on this app
WHAT ABOUT SYNTHETIC MEDIA FILTERS? WOULD LIKE TO SEE ONE OF THOSE RUN THROUGH THIS TEST
I'm still running a 5hp Briggs & Stratton engine on a Montgomery Ward front tiller that I bought in 1983. That thing has been through 41 oil changes and still runs, no oil filter!
Please do the same test with a large filter magnet installed. Thx
Simple. Go by your vehicle manufacturer recommendation. My engine has on the oil filler tube....USE 5W-30.
Happy birthday
I LOVE the altimeter in the old dyno panel, that's the first laugh I've had today.
Left over from the original dyno
On a classic trucks site I belong to there's a lot of talk about lifters currently made for use in old school flat tappet cam engines being defective, going flat during break to 1000 miles. Many claimed they used zinc containing oils and or zinc additive. I've never had that issue in hundreds of engine builds, or cam upgrades. Could you do a video on this? By the way I was a NASCAR fan in the 70,-90s. Remember your dad won when he had his surprise win, front runners crashing near the end of the race with your dad weaving through to victory and giving JC the credit. Amen.
Check out the truth about ZDDP video on the Motor Oil Geek channel
Working in a large fleet operation, 200 units, cars, SUVs, trucks from class 3 to class 8, I observed 1st hand the effects of 0- 5, 5-20 Each vehicle that the manufacturer recommends super light weight oils had knocks, rattles, changing to 10-30 stopped it all. Our fleet was made up of GM, Dodge, Ford, gas, and diesel engine cars and trucks in Colorado. Managing a fleet you get see the effects even before the manufacturer does.
My 1929 model A laughs at all these oil filter tests
I went to the store and nothing tells you what is inside the bottle I’m not sure what to buy
Check out the top tier gas website
Had a 1970 VW. the engine didn’t even have an oil filter. I think the oil change interval was 3,000 miles. The first rebuild occured at 133k and the second was at 240k. The crank and bearings were in good shape exhaust valves wore out, and that is why the rebuilds. Oil was straight 30 weight , usually Quaker State. I don’t think this was unusual for those engines.
Wow, either I must be stupid, because this really didn’t answer anything for me, or, this really didn’t answer anything.
Which microskop camera did you use
UMO2 Digital Microscope
For consistency’s sake, it might be better to mix up a double batch of oil at the start instead of 2 separate batches to ensure both test will have the same particle level in the oil.
When i buikt my internal balanced forged internals nitrous 406 817 for my c3 vette i did .032 on top and .034 on second and she runs great at 11/1 on 93 pump gas NA too. Practically No blowby. Street it daily with 4500 stall shes a Beast of a 2 bolt small block.

I am doing honing for 200 cc pls help me reply ur number
Hey Sirs I purchased new let’s say 2022 Ford with 6.2 engine. Would it have been a good idea to drop the original oil at 5 odometer mileage replace with one of your breakin oils change filter run for 3000 miles ??? And if not just change out original oil before 1000 miles and use good synthetic oil and new filter ??? Excellent tutorials
Hi flow filter
Can you just rev it up to set the rings or would it be better to drive it? Only reason i ask is im in a very congested area and i dont think id have the space
What’s the best fuel injection cleaner ?
So what type of oil for a california driven honda rod bearing clearance 0.032-0.050 standard (0.0013-0.0020 new) at 160-200f?
