all i am sayin is that if you have mileage on your motor. a heavier weight oil wont hurt. plus it will give extra cushioning to the worn berrings.
psi (pressure)= resistance. yeah on the oil pump not the bearings
i dont know about you but from what i have read old school motors are supposed to use old school oil. because newer motors run higher oil psi so they have no need for thicker oil. old school motors run lower oil psi so 10w40 is better especiallly if it has high mileage. 0w30 and 5w30 is like...
yeah i installed it on the jdm motor when i put it in. i also installed the egr to. i just block off the vaccume line to keep it shut. and plug it in when i take it to have emissions done. but for some odd reason when it is plugged up when i am driving under normal conditions i get some slight...
if you just crank your car up after it has been cooling down for 2 hours and your coolant is full and your upper hose becomes rock hard. sounds like bhg to me. your upper hose shouldnt get hard when the car is just sitting there idleing.
the reason i asked this question is because with my jdm motor with timing set to 12 i get some pinging at about mid throttle when the motor is already warm. it didnt do that with the us motor. i just figured it was because i wasnt running a egr. i would get a jdm ecu but i need to pass emissions.
i agree with these guys but changing engine bearings is a job. when you are done with the hg and the flushing. put some 10w40 with some lucas. im not saying that this will keep you from having a rod knock but it will help being that you live in texas with the hot temps.
from what i have heard from some on here. running no egr on a us ecu will make you run a little lean at mid throttle to about 3/4 throttle. it this true.
