So all that oil just magically ended up in the catch can when you say no oil gets out of the PCV? You realize there is NO valve on the valve cover. It is a baffled hole.

 

I agree to disagree, not interested in arguing.

T1's have 0 need of a catch can. Valve cover's filter out any oil (same as k2). But the T1's don't have a pcv valve coming from the valley. Which is largely responsible for any oil that creates carbon buildup. 

Absolutely!   What people are thinking is oil condensate is fuels dilution. Use a better oil, tune your engine up.  Generally only  need for blow-by capture or catch cans are racing entities who have highly modified crankcase pressures, flows, piston speeds, low tension rings etc.  

 

Believe it or not I used to analyze what most think is oil and majority was fuels residuals and associated condensation attracted to that fuel.  The oil and carbon will color what is seen in a catch can but its minority oil tested across many OEM's for competitive comparison.

I quit following catch can threads after repeatedly making this point to deaf ears. Perhaps your background will be more effective. :dunno: But I'm not holding my breath. 😉 :P

It's not his facts. It's how he argues them 😂

 

In all seriousness though, it really doesn't matter what he says. When he speaks, it screams I'm smarter then everyone. Not unlike you 😉

 

And now it seems you two roll through this forum together!

 On the topics of tribology and fuel science?

🤫

Could that be because he is?

🤔

It's his field. Ya know, the one a guy butters his bread with?

 

Can't say what he knows about the physics of black holes though.

That might be a Stephen Hawking thing.

No, that's not what I see.

For me to agree I'd need to know what you disagree with. 

Spell it out cause I'm slow.........

You two rolling through this thread is really offending my delicate sensitivities... my snowflake is melting or was that chiffon back in the day.  🤗

    • I have a 2000 Silverado 1500 LS, whenever I put it into reverse and also in drive it clunks, the truck also feels sluggish when driving. Any advice/ideas ?
    • Looks like it's riveted to me. What is wrong with that 1? Welcome to the Forum!
    • Missing pieces of the Assembly   Detergency vs Solvency   Not the same thing. Detergency is the mechanism that surrounds solid particulates preventing amalgamation. Usually accompanied by a Dispersant whose job it is to keep those encapsulated particles in Suspension. Solvency keeps things that can be dissolved in solution.    Salt is a solid that can be dissolved. Pepper is a solid that cannot be dissolved. A detergent/dispersant is effective on pepper but a solvent is more effective on salt. As long as the solids remain in either state, dissolved or dispersed then they can be be removed with the oil upon change.    How many wranglers does it take to herd cats? Depends on how many cats your herding. How much sponge does it take to soak up water? How much water is there to soak up? Point is most oil blends start with some herding ability and next to zero sponge and recently even fewer wranglers are being sent to do the same job.    So you start with a dozen cowboys and zero cows but at the drive progresses you pick up cows along the way, but not cowboys. At some point you have more cows that the wranglers can handle and some leave the herd. Deposits. And the API has an acceptable number of cows they are willing to let loose. In the ideal world zero is the right number for he rancher but to the butcher....a few lost is fine. This cow is beat to death. Let's move on....   Solvency isn't something oils on the Walmart shelf care about AT ALL. Problem is, you motor does. Fuels driven varnish sticks rings and only a solvent can keep them in check. The bet is that the solids driven portion that plug the expander rings and the oil drain backs and VVT screens and AFM screens will be an issue long before varnish is. Not that it wont be but if they market well enough the consumer can be kept ignorant enough to either believe it is "normal" (A quart in 1 or 2K is normal) OR is kept at bay longer than the first owner is likely to hang on to the unit. Solvency cost money.    Now the OEM's have John Q. Public buffaloed into the belief that the number cows accumulated along the trail is a known and predictable CONSTANT. It isn't. Nor is the rate at which they crossed paths with them. Only the number of wrangles is constant. Or was. Each new generation of oil sees fewer and fewer of them.    So what happens when the number of cowboys is lower (lower TBN) with each seasons trail but the trial is longer (OCI) and the number of cows along that trail continues increase? (Conditions that promote deposits).    For awhile the blenders were on to something. Better bases are harder to degrade (fewer cows) but that was overtaken by a longer trail (OCI) and improved breeding (More cows) while continuing to reduce the cowboy staffing levels (TBN/Aniline #).    Marketing has been successful. We've fired most of the staff, cows breed line bunnies, the trail is ten times longer and we've convinced the boss his ranch is in better shape that it ever was.    That kids is just the cleaning side. The side few pay attention to.
