Nitrous Update
The use of nitrous oxide in diesel engines is not a new concept. In fact, it has been used in drag racing for decades. However, it is only in recent years that it has gained widespread popularity in the worlds of diesel truck pulling and drag racing. Now, it seems as if almost everyone in the competitive scene is using it.
Diesel Piston Technology
Diesel and heavy duty go hand-in-hand. There’s no way around it. High compression causes high cylinder temperatures, with peak cylinder pressure often as high as 2,700 psi (or higher). This high pressure and high heat only have one thing in mind, to beat relentlessly on the first thing to get in the way – the pistons.
The Craziest Diesel Swaps We’ve Seen
There’s nothing better than an engine swap, and diesel swaps are even cooler when you consider the size and specifications of the engines.
Pennzoil Answers the Top 5 Most Searched Motor Oil Questions
To help maintain high performance and a longer life expectancy for your engine, motor oil is essential. Not only does it help to lubricate your vehicle’s engine, it also offers many additional benefits, including reducing friction and wear on moving parts, cooling the engine down, and keeping it clean. Motor oil allows everything to run smoothly,
EPA Pursues New Emissions Standards to Spur Transition to EVs
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has proposed new federal emissions standards intended to dramatically increase sales of electric vehicles (EVs). The sales would be achieved by reducing multi-pollutant emissions, including greenhouse gas (GHG) and criteria pollutants (particulate matter (PM), ozone, nitrogen oxides (NOX) and carbon monoxide (CO) from new light-duty and medium-duty (8,501 to
Turbocharged 388 cid LS Engine

Solving Engine Bearing Fatigue Failures with Silver Based Materials
One of the most important engine bearing properties is fatigue strength. Fatigue cracks start on the surface and then penetrate into the material. All layers of a multilayer bearing material must have fatigue strength that is greater than the actual load applied to the bearing. Engine bearings must work in a fully hydrodynamic oil film
