Another 3 pages to go before this thread brakes the record of the thread about the question of what oil can I use ?

btw, what oil did you use to make that small end noise a little louder ? (Just kidding),

Jensen

'Breaks'.....

Christ only knows; before my ownership, mate!

Ah but small ends can always be bushed and that gets rid of that particular noise.

GTX was the other answer BTW.

Before I forget, Steve, you need to stop that mamby pamby B/s and Man Up. ( do a you tube search for Chopper Reed (sp?) )

No space here for stern talk. If the bolt won't do as it's told., just smack it. It needs a good smack for it to get the message.

If smacking it doesn't get through you may have to get heavy handed with it to teach it a lesson or maybe it's asking for it and you'll have to sink the boot in.

I have a couple of sets of -305 gudgeon pins (0.1mm o/s), so I'm a-reaming the rods on my spare crank.

Can you still buy GTX? Not seen it for aeons. Last time I used it I cooked the fully-floating bushes on two turbochargers in a row on my SAAB 900 turbo; I only ever used Mobil Super 1 in that, and my last petrol car, a Sierra Cosworth, after that.

I've been a confirmed diesel man since '90, so oil technololology has been a thing that's slipped past me (arf!).

GTX is probably still around. At one point they had a synthetic GTX R or whatever they called it. Seemed to work OK.

If diesels get best consumption on the highway and hybrids are best in town, how come there are no diesel hybrids?

Now, there's a question; and, perhaps, a prompt for another marathon response from.........?
