Basher only. I bash pretty hard though. Keep my temps in the 215-270 range. I also put the piston at BDC every time the engine is shut off. I use the heat cycle break-in method. I primarily run trinity MHP 20% nitro/12% oil.

I know some of the airplane guys do this. I'm cuious though, how did they discover this neat little tip? It looks like a good idea, and I can't see it doing anything to the engine. Armorall is essentially a thin oil from what I understand.

And you are adding so little to a gallon, it's almost insignificant.

I don't have problems without adding it to my fuel, do you guys? Why add something you don't need?


Having fun again!!!!

My engine runs normal when it's cold, as long as you preheat it before trying to start it.

I used to have problems with my xxx-nt creating foam and it would vapor lock my engine. That was my first truck and now it's just a habit to avoid foam.

Nitro fuel doesnt foam up, it gels up if left out in the open air.
