mobil1 syn and a fram filter
Yes, I have read all of the 'mobile 1 sucks, fram sucks' thread/web pages across the internet but never really seen any pictures of anyone who seen it first hand, or could prove anything other than some science experiments from various whatever bullshit experiments they do.
Today I tore apart my stroked b16a that I had in Okinawa to find some immaculate bearings, and nice piston skirts and a sexy crank. I honestly expected the motor to be trashed. The cyl walls looked like they had been beat to hell, so why wouldn't the bearings/etc be fucked up? I really didn't expect the pistons to be in as nice as shape as they were.
also, anyone who ever ran with me in Oki knows my car was beat on. I didn't take any mercy on the car, It seen 9000+ rpms on many occasions, not to mention one night we ran half of okinawa flat out. I beat it for 2 years, it sat for at least a year before I bought it and this is what I found today.
I should point out that I saw that the oil pump had been reworked, the stroker kit is a toda kit...so I would venture to say the oil pump also has a toda gear in it.
I always ran mobile 1 synthetic and a fram oil filter. Ill let you be the judge. I will continue to run mobile 1 and a fram filter.
if you wanna see bigger pics, go to

Re: mobil1 syn and a fram filter
How bad are the cylinder walls Frank? Just need a DIY hone job and slap the ---- back it or do they need to get bored or now? You just tear it apart to tear it apart or was the engine in dire need of a makeover? I see you got your ---- finally then. You better be tossing all your old ---- into this new hatch. ---- that fender bender ---- and just rock it.
