So ask yourself this...........Who is more credible, one who is selling the catch-cans for profit $$$ or one who could install one for $$ but yet turns it down? What is his or my motive, other than what we think we to be true, as opossd to.....well you tell me?
As for facts, not having facts for something does NOT prove...it aint proof. And the photos of engines without catch cans, if indeed that what that they are, is meaningless. Is that "facts", well you decide.
And by the way, do you sell catch-cans, or know someone who does, or have one yourself, what is your motive and YOUR PROOF, ha.
Keep huffing and puffing, whatever. Aint my money nor time. I have been writing this while watching a movie, so my interest is God's truth...
Whatever, who cares? It is your money do as you want.
Thank you.  |
As I have asked time and again, you interfere with every thread on the subject on a campaign to convince those that care about the best for their car to ignore all of this......you seem to have this as your #1 goal here....mislead and do a diservice for all the members that DO want to learn, etc. Again, every time I ask for you to post any supporting facts, all you do is attack with no data to support your opinion. I provide the technical data, pictures, my qualifications, and the invitation for anyone to ask detailed questions and I will provide any more data anyone cound want.
Yes, I manufacture one of the most effective oil separating crancase evac systems avaialable for street driven vehicles, but if greed was the motivation I woul not be offering such a robustly designed solution, I would be pushing a cheap china/ebay gimmick that looks good but is ineffective. 95% of the others on the market as shown are just empty cans with 2 fittings attached. Much more profitable than all the R&D and revisions involved in developing the product to where it is now.
Also I would like to point out that I dont make a cent endorsing the other cans on the market that we have tested and proven to do a good job.....they are direct competitors and this cost me sales when someone PM's and ask's if they should replace X can with the RX and I tell them its a great can, no need to spend the $.
You ignore my qualifications, and you talk of a "class action suite"'? For what?
So, lets go through each benefit from a properly functioning properly installed oil separating catchcan system.
Does oil ingestion cause detonation resulting in the PCM pulling timing and producing less power and fuel economy?
Yes, ask any tuner that has had to batttle with this or read the GM TSB's on the subject.....several other mebers have posted them on this forum.
Does oil ingestion cause harmful deposit build up and contribute to increased oil consumption?
Yes, ask any engine builder....and look for the posts where some have torn down to do other mods and what the engine looks like inside. The buiuld up on the piston rings and ringlands causes them to stick and not move freely so they do not create as good of a seal with the cylinder wall (GM TSB). The fix is to dissasemble the engine, remove the pistons, manually clean each ring land, install new rings, hone the cylinders, and reassemble.
Does oil burn just as well as gasoline?
No, try for yourself. Take and pour a teaspoon of the motor oil you use onto a saucer and try and light it on fire....it wont burn unless you can get the heat up to the point of vaporizing it...and then it is a dark sooty smoke of incomplete combustion. You ONLY want air & fuel in the combustion chamber, any amount of oil mist reduces the amount of energy released per explosive event producing less power, and causing some of the fuel to pass through unburnt. This reduces the fuel economy as well as the power.
Are the deposits left by the oil ingestion harmfull to the engines life and performance and efficiancy?
Yes, If looking at the carbon alone, it is extremely abrasive and as small particles break loose some get rapped between the cylinder walls and pistons resulting in the vertical scouring in the piston pictures I posted. (Yes, we have motors in every state of dissasembly and reassembly here at all times...ask anyone who has actually visited the shop and seen in person).
The build up on the valves reduces the volumetric efficiency of the port/valve/piston top/combustion chamber as it builds up resulting in the motor not working as efficiently as designed. The piston tops are designed specifically for a certain burn pattern during the combustion proccess for peak efficiancy, the carbon buld up on them alters this and thus less power/MPG. The combustion chamber and the quench areas to transfer heat away evenly are negatively affected. (If not GM would not have you coming in every 12-15k miles for TB cleaning and upper induction cleanings at a price many times a good catchcan can be had for.
So, instead of throwing misinformation and insults around point out in each of these paragraphs where any is not accurate and the supporting data to back up your opinion.
It's fine if YOU do not want to run one...its a free country, but to keep this campaign of misinformation to confuse those that DO want the best for their baby is a diservice to all.
