LOWERING Oil Pressure... What Oil To Run? Additives? Temporary Fix Need Help
 

Ive got a oil burning problem, aparently due to some shitily placed oil control rings
My motor only burns oil and smokes when fairly cold, at idle and when compression breaking and when oil psi is above 25psi

I would like to make it so that my oil gets up to operating temp faster (im running no thermo so I doubt that helps) and so that my oil pressure would stay down thus keeping oil from slipping passed the ring possibly

It only smokes at idle for some reason, pisses me off and its embarrassing. Hope this can hold me off if it works until winter.

Thanks guys

Dont read them then, obviously it works getting information fast

I would like to know if lowerring the oil pressure may help based on whats Ive found thouh

ya dont lower the oil pressure, thats a bad bad idea.

This is a funny thread. I think you should drill a small hole in your main oil gallery to lower your oil pressure, less smoking from your rings and you will spin a bearing. then you can replace the whole rotating assembly and fix the problem at hand. ::)

Im not trying to fix, Im trying to BANDAID for 3 months until winter possibly

Ive got a built motor here as my spare but do not want to install it yet

I would like to lower oil pressure quite a bit because it only smokes at at stop and with high oil pressure, my oil pressure on a cold start is 75psi, quite high. Even after being run for 10 min its still only 45-50 at idle

I would like to bring that number drastically down I think so the pressure is less great and it wont make it into the combustion chamber or maybe just a lot less that I can tolerate

Or maybe I need to go with thicker oil and it wont sneak passed?

your bandaid is going to ruin the motor if you actually take any physical steps to try to lower oil pressure. if it smokes try some sort of no-smoke additive or thicker oil or some ----

Well since the smoke seems to go away with the low oil pressure, wouldnt thin oil be best as it would thin out and possibly heat up faster

hell, even hydraulic oil I can get, thin as ----
