Well well, I'm trying to talk stiction eliminator,
because today's topic, we're going to talk about Blowby a little bit.
So Josh, just top level, explain to me what what exactly was blow by?
So blow by is during the conversion process, either gas or diesel.
It's the it's the leakage
of those gases above the top of the piston leaking through the rings down
into the crankcase and causing pressure that goes into the crankcase.
And then we either see a breather tube or
or some other place in the system as well on the backside.
So if you're saying go getting past the rings.
Yeah, right. Well, why would that happen?
Well, there's going to always be some leakage.
We don't get 100 percent seal
between the rings and the cylinder warns that an engine.
But the what can be common issues
when we get excessive leakage and blow by. And that is
it's what happens and it creates unburned fuel on the oil.
So we're contaminating our oil in the engine itself.
So we're losing some of the lupra city properties and making,
you know, that oil is not going to last as long in the engine.
So excessive blow by can be caused by turbochargers.
So that's putting excess pressure and in the end, the engine as well.
So that's also an additional source.
But we just want to help monitor blow by.
You can actually do some blow by testing as well.
There are some tools out there.
They put pressure into the engine
and there are some tools that test the percentage of leak through. Gotcha.
I know there's kind of like a homemade test I've seen before
because they say everyone's going to have a little bit of rowby.
But I don't know if you've ever done this
or maybe you guys have heard of this, too.
But you take the oil field cap off and you flip it upside down and you put it
right there on the entryway.
And if it blows off, that's like a sure sign of excessive blowby right.
That's usually a good way to check on, like I used vehicle for checking out
a vehicle to say, hey, is this something that's the engine in decent shape?
And a lot of people, like you say do that.
Kind of like the the garage driveway accessible.
Yeah. Quick, simple test.
Also, a lot of people sometimes can see it come out of the
if you take the cap off completely and run the engine, you can you can see it.
And that's a sign as well as some excessive blowby. Gotcha.
OK, so you mentioned a couple of things, but are you know,
just if I got Bobbye, what are some of the issues I'm going to see?
You know, what's what's that going to how does that relate to
what I feel when I'm driving?
Or maybe I can't even feel
like I just feel it. But it's more,
you know, so in in our HEUI systems,
like the power stroke engines, early power stroke engines,
sometimes we would see that
going through the injectors themselves, getting some blowby or causing that.
But a common might have cracked, cracking
pressed and rings or
just all different things that
could affect your turbo etr.
Yeah, just there's a lot of things that aren't real cheat the effects.
So we just want to monitor, blow by and see if you have an issue.
If you do you know them a good fix to that
stiction eliminator and part of the reason why that actually works
is we're cleaning off the sludge and the varnish
and the engine on the cylinder walls and the piston rings themselves.
Plus, we've found that we're helped to lubricate
those seals in the piston rings and it gives a tighter, more
closer seal to the piston walls, which is going to,
you know, just cut down that blow back.
Now, I know I know FR3
We've seen it can help slow some of those seals.
Are we going to see the same thing with with six nominator?
We are a little bit, but probably not to the same extent.
But again, it's still got some of those high end group
five asters got Gennaro's while that's going to do that. OK.
And so let's not forget
if have an accessible by some of the kind of general
easy stuff notices power loss, maybe poor fuel economy,
things like that, right? Yeah.
And you also might notice that when you got to change your oil, if you
if you see fuel laying on top of your oil, there's a good possibility
you got a blowby issue or some other sort of issue.
And that's a good, you know, for the home mechanic when you change your oil
should really take a look and see if you can see it for seeing shiny parts.
And that's not a problem.
You know, if I can see fuel, if it smells,
you know, for the diesel, I can smell the diesel fuel through the oil.
Yeah. You know, could have an issue.
And that's the bad news. Yeah.
Because of fuel on the oil, the oil can't lubricate properties
that where. Right. So
let me ask this.
If if I don't know if this correlates or not, but if I'm if I'm
losing oil. Right.
I'm eating oil and maybe I'm a corbo every
I don't know, three or four weeks.
Would that be any indication of blowby or is that not related?
Not really. Really the blow by its oil consumption issue. So
because your oil is actually on the other side of the ring.
So at the top of the engine, where we're getting the blowback from is
where the gas are. The fuel is coming in.
So if it's gas or diesel coming in on top of the piston burning,
driving that piston down to make the power, the blowbys come past
the rings on the piston into the crankcase where your oil that I got you. OK.
Now, if you have excessive excessive force,
it could be blowing some past the the breather to burn out.
But that would be an extreme case for you.
Now we see that on like high-performance engines, like a polling engine,
if you ever seen it, like it looks like green snot at the end of the track,
at the end of the run, that's actually coming out of the crankcase valve.
Breather valves are usually onto hoses and towards them lays on the track.
And you see a little bit.
Well, a lot of it's usually greenish color.
Looks like this because of the oil content.
Right. High zinc oil technically has a little green look to it. So
you're saying add Stiction Eliminator, it's going to help blowby, it's going to
clean some of that out and lubricate, which is all going to help, right? Right.
Say I do that and I don't want the issue to come back or or
I want to limit that from being such an issue. Right.
Is there anything I can do as far as my just my oil is concerned?
Well, always run a good quality oil.
So like even on green diamonds, a really good group, three oil, you know,
either they have the semis and that he's got a little bigger
up to in it or a full synthetic or jump up to our group for payo,
which is the blue diamond or black diamond lime.
And you know, just run a high quality oil like that's going to help, you know,
make sure that you're not building up that sludge to begin with. Right.
Because that's part of the problem.
That's part of the problem is the oil breakdown. It's causing that issue.
So if you're running a higher quality
oil, in theory, you're going to have lower operating temperatures.
It's not going to break down.
So you're going to be preventing all of that. Correct.
And then like a four year p.m., like the Blue Diamond doesn't share.
And that's where a lot of that that cooked on varnish comes from
is from the actual sharing of the oil as it breaks down over time.
Gotcha. OK. Well, I mean, makes sense to me.
I'm trying to think of some
more questions that you may have, and I don't really have any.
Is there any other common questions we get, you know, surrounding by
or maybe just just the main thing is how do I I got bored by.
What can I do? Well,
one thing you can do is definitely run Stiction Eliminator to help prevent it.
You can also run Stiction Eliminator or the FR3.
Both are going to help with the
the sludge buildup and preventing that from happening.
Is there anything they say?
I do a blowby accessible bar
and I run sticks from them later and it doesn't fix the problem.
Is there anything outside of lubrication mechanically that could cause?
Oh, absolutely. So like I said, we can have those crack drinks. All right.
So it could be a mechanical issue.
So if you're not seeing any immediate change or Stiction Eliminator, you're
probably more of a mechanical issue
and just not going to be something that we can fix all over again.
And I'll say we understand that type of stuff.
That's why we offer a money back guarantee. Right.
So if it doesn't work, it is it's exactly why we have that money back guarantee.
We know that some cases a lubricant cannot fix the issue.
It could be mechanical, electrical, whatever it might be.
Maybe just outside the control of what we can
put a big enough influence on to from a lubrication standpoint.
