Guys,
Maybe it's my lacking Google skills.... Can anyone tell me the filtration size for the K&N3002(3)? I can't find anything about it anywhere. All the links that pop up only parrot what K&N has on their website. I don't really need to know the OD and OAL......:rolleyes: Thanks. Brad. |

Coming from a machining vantage point, that sounds incredibly large. I have course lapping compound with smaller grit particle size than that. I can't imagine anything that large flowing toward a main journal. Ick.... Thanks. Brad. |

SB, where was that filter made? It seems like the ones i have that are US made all have the black seals in them...yours has red....my buddy that had the Napa Gold from China had the red seal in it as well....

Anyone run amsoil, debating running Z-rod 10w40 this season for the high Zinc in it. |

Anyone run amsoil, debating running Z-rod 10w40 this season for the high Zinc in it. I'm getting ready to switch to their 20w50. Got the oil and K&N filter; just waiting for the oil temp sender from Gaffrig to arrive so I can do the modifications to the filter mount during the oil change. I opted out of the Z-Rod formula. The standard 20w50 says "High Zinc" on the jugs. Not sure how much is in either. The reports I read on scorch tests and such, and insight from here on OSO, leads me to believe AmsOil is about as good as it gets. Thanks. Brad. |

So that brings up another question, oil weight to go along with a good filter, I just had the 502 Mag in my boat rebuilt its now a 509 with a hotter cam and 9.3:1 compression. Its a lake boat so high RPM runs for long periods of time do NOT happen, I ran Rotella 10w40 in it last season as a break in but is that to light of an oil? Do I need to run 15/50?

0.0025" main bearing clearance is 63 microns.
There's studies that say small 20 micron cause the most wear and many that don't. The crank won't stay perfectly centered within the bearing, and when loaded, likely bends taking up much of the clearance. 20 micron contaminants would start contacting at 0.0008". Soot will wear down parts by abrasion, but that is more a diesel issue. There are other methods to polish the oil in the pan or dry sump tank. Use an additional small flow higher pressure electric pump that flows oil just through a finer filter and back into the pan. Where is the contamination coming from? How clean is the air going into the engine? |
