Dr. Peter Lee from Southwest Research Institute teams up with "Dyno" Don MacAskill and Lake Speed Jr. to put a new piston ring coating. Soft on the outside for a quick and gentle break-in, but it gets progressively harder as it wears in - a variable hardness coating.
In this video, we took some rings with this new coating and put them on the dyno to see what happens during the critical break-in phase.
For the dyno break-in process, follow this link: • Don't RUIN Your Engine...

Its so comforting that so much development continues for ICE technology. The fact that too many hobbiest engine builders are still using iron rings and performance piston manufacturers still offer shelf pistons with 70 year old ring groove technology is part of the problem.

It’s is awesome that Mr Shaver shares his team to provide open knowledge gathering with the rest of us mere mortals. Giving so much back to us all with Dyno Don and Lake Speed❤❤❤. We get to learn and test engines and components for free and help all of us “Do better, Be Better”

A quality bore job was always my biggest concern when building a motor ! You can buy the best piston and rings and setup ! You’re left with the bore as being your weakest link in blow by !

This has got to be a great thing. Don is one great guy. This man has seen a lot. And knows even more. Thanks for the videos.

Good work guys, thanks again.

@TotalSeal 23 дня назад

Thanks!

@jeffbonifield8981 24 дня назад

Thanks as always 😎. It seems as though the softer initial wear coating could reduce the Rv number (clog it?). I did see that you rechecked. Looking forward to the rest of the test!

Southwest Research Institute is a great place!

@bricekoirokpi9954 27 дней назад

Good to see you all together

@johnnystanley4469 23 дня назад

So good to see these coating technologies help improve thanks for sharing these test

Awesome stuff guys, thank you.

Glad you enjoyed it!

Good to see Dr. Phil getting into engine building

@kendavis1198 26 дней назад

Nice NEW STUFF right there. WOW....

@TomKnoblauch-de4em 26 дней назад

So Lake, you said ring thickness is 20mm. Did you mean.020” or .2mm?

@bartoszskowronski 4 дня назад

analog blowby meter should have neodymium magnet as a ball. and backplate should be made from thick copper plate. (with grove for tube). that will behave like manometer filled with oil/glycerin.

Would think the next step / extension of this analysis, would be integrating individual cylinder combustion analysis, to identify any other potential variables.

@TotalSeal 26 дней назад

That is on the test plan.

Don is not a Shaver although he's been there over 30 years, the owner is Ron Shaver but he's not the live recording type so Don gets the honor.

Three pretty exited guys 😅 Awesome👍

😄

@James16788 26 дней назад

Thank you for sharing. Us engine nerds are a weird bunch that get exited over this stuff:). Can you tell us what vacuum the dyno mule pulls at the 80ftlbs, 3k rpm so I can get an idea of what that load is?

@BRADASSOFFGRIDHOMESTEAD 26 дней назад

Generally you would want to coat something in copper, before you coat it in something else if doing dual layer stuff.

@joelpierce3940 25 дней назад

The factory said change my oil at 500 miles, 2019 ZO6. Now for the C8 they say 7500 miles 1st change. I think this is wrong!

@TotalSeal 25 дней назад

Agreed!

@toddsizemore8376 20 дней назад

Very cool test...what stones were used to final finish the cylinder walls?

@harleylif1929 27 дней назад

Good morning Lake. In the past you talked about the best break in oil to use and I have been looking for that video and cant find it. Can you share that oil with me.

@TotalSeal 26 дней назад

It is on the Total Seal channel

@brian6029 15 дней назад

I'm getting ideas for the bottom end rebuild of my engine. Wondering if this coating turns out to be a good long lasting thing and if it may have any applications on top end parts?

@infinityinnovationdesign2i301 26 дней назад

Does the same apply for diesel engines?

@TotalSeal 25 дней назад

Yes!

@gj91471 26 дней назад

Can You try running this Engine with Oil Extreme Concentrate in the Engine Oil ?

@hotrodray6802 25 дней назад

He stated his opinion and additive results in a previous video.

@autonomous_collective 8 дней назад

is the coating available yet from SouthWest Research yet?

@TotalSeal 3 дня назад

We are working on commercializing it.

@justinjones5288 26 дней назад

Im planning on putting gapless rings in a LS turbo build for a daily driver. Whats the longevity of the gapless rings?

@russellweber3466 26 дней назад

I wonder if Lake Speed Jr., took any real science classes in high school?

@YouCantSawSawdust 26 дней назад

The guy in the hat keeps butting-in and talking over the professionals like he has something to do with what's being tested here. The reality is, he is just being used because he is providing engine dyno time for their convenience. He doesn't have a skin in this game, and is just there for slave labour, so to speak. So stop jumping in and talking over the technicians, and just pull that string when you are told to.
