Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

motor is on the stand, and as you can see i like to use ziploc's and zip ties, as of now intake and header is off

:thumbup: friggin sweet.

On that note, I'm in the middle of redoing my gas tank relocation using 1x1x.125" angle iron as a frame along the edges of the floor and 1x1x1/16" box tubing as the frame for the cover.

I'll take pics next weekend.

I am never buying Castrol GTX again.

I was in NAPA on Saturday (where I found out my card was declined) talking with the manager about my temp issue in the blairwitch, and ordering a ZJ fan clutch. He asked me what oil I was running, and told him Castrol. He laughed, and asked me if my temp issue started after I started running that oil.

He told me he had a guy about 10 years ago come in with a Jeep looking for a thermostat, as he kept running extremely hot, Jeep only had 5K on it, and was just given an oil change with Castrol. After switching out the oil, the temps in his jeep went back to normal.

So as per his suggestion, I did an oil change and used Valvoline's Durablend, the semisynthetic oil. Low and behold, the temps didn't get as high as on my initial test drive and when I came back up to Boston as they were before, barely getting past 210, when it was running about 225, 230ish before.

so what you mean to say is you begleyed an oil change? .!..!.

ok, maybe not per the definition in your sig, but close enough to give you shit for it

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

if you begley an already begleyed job, does it cancel out like a double negative?

Haha, I think there are multiple entries under the definition for begley.

Haha, I think it does.


I think we should definitely put "begleyed" into urban dictionary.

I ran castrol in my xj and it never ever overheated or even hit 210. You just switched from (presumably) 10w-30 dino oil to (presumably) 5w-30 Semi-synthetic oil. It doesn't take a mechanical engineer with schooling in fluid dynamics to know that an easier to pump oil with better lubrication properties is going to keep engine temperatures down.

I switched from 10W-30 to 10W-30.
