Yes. I did a RP change the day before and after that and the hard pulls of the tune yesterday I'm thinking better spend the $80 for piece of mindQuote:

is there anything wrong with going from 75w80 to w90? do a full flush?
I found the shifts a bit smoother/easier...but it wasn't a huge huge difference. How long have you had it in? It got better over the first couple weeks.Quote:

I put in the MT-90 and I definitely notice it once everything warms up but it's not over the top.
I ran the Motul stuff and my transmisson felt awesome.
So...who does valve cleaning around here? Car is at 70k, has been running an OCC for about 50k of those.
LoL has it really been 50k since we installed that thing?
I think so.. yes. Maybe 40k?
@Fobio should be able to arrange for Valve cleaning.
I needz valve cleaning... @Fobio
we can do it at Brian's...remember, an oil change is necessary afterwards.
Why would an oil change be necessary? Do you media blast or use B12 or something? Does some seep past the valves?Quote:

I can answer right here. The distributor for the chemicals we use, which is a version of what some dealers of higher pedigree cars use, is not available to the public. We had to go thru a trial process where we as MSpeed demonstrated to the distributor that we can replicate their prescribed procedures in a shop environment or at Paul's garage so that they would actually sell the chemicals to us. It's not rocket science, but the vetting process is beyond what a DIY'er would've been able to do to convince the distributor to sell you the chemicals directly.Quote:

Hmm I supposed I can hang out in there now.
I need this done too. 175k now and I imagine previous owner didn't do this.

seriously though, i would like to do a compression test on your motor, see what you have in terms of a starting point
First thing he had done before he bought it
180
179
190
195
So a bit of variation but not bad numbers
