Torco only builds High Performance and Racing oils. All of our oils are over built with large additive systems that would frighten most other oil companies. We do not build oils based on API guidelines. We build oils based on our extensive back ground in solving lubrication issues or improving performance in a racing application. Therefore all of our formulas have an abudance of Zinc and many other components that address Anti- wear, Anti-friction and detergency.

Yes, Torco makes a few Assembly Lubes that contain Molybdenum. In saying that, there are several different types of Moly. Torco uses what we call a Molybdenum Dithiophosphate. This is a liquid form of moly which less abrasive than a Moly Disulfide which is a solid particulate form. FYI, Torco is the pioneer of Engine Assembly Lubes. We were building assembly lubes before they were even considered or recomended in the engine building industry. All Torco engine oils contain an abundance of Zinc.

@TorcoOil Do you guys at Torco make a moly lube or equivalent intended for flat tappet cam break-in?
What about the fact that all major oil brands have removed the zinc content from their oils? This is causing major problems with people that still like to run flat tappet camshafts and lifters (high percentage of classic car restorations and hot rodders..)
Does Torco offer any oils with added ZDDP?

@ajhnson true, this one short clip does deal with an in-block camshaft for a V8 pushrod engine…but, this is only a piece of a 3 1/2 hours DVD.
Almost every other section of the DVD has information and engine building tools instructions that you can use for any kind of engine.
You have pistons don’t you?
There is extensive footage dealing with piston removal, machining and installation. Also, all the gasket sealing techniques that are universal to all types of engine building.

@BoxWrench so pretty much if its my rod bearing my engine is fucked lol

@youdragon Rod side clearance is checked by pulling the oil pan and putting a feeler gauge between two adjacent rods. If your clearance is .025″ or higher, you’ll likely see a lowering of oil pressure. The bigger issue is whether your rod bearings are wearing out. Only way to check them is pull the oil pan, pull rod caps, push pistons up to get to rod bearings.
Just try a 30 weight oil first.
Then verify that your oil gauge is correct. Install a separate oil gauge directly into the block…

@BoxWrench how chould the rods be checked? has a brand new oil pump in it now,and how much would it be to fix something like that? or is the engine junk?

@youdragon
Cam bearings would not be a likely cause of oil pressure dropping as you describe…
The most likely issue would be that over time, the rod side clearance has been increasing as the connecting rods rub against each other. Oil pressure would begin to decrease as more oil seeps out between the rods. This can also be multiplied by increased clearances in the gears of the oil pump as it gets older.
You may see a an increase in pressure if you use a thicker oil such as SAE 30 weight

would bad cam bearings casue low oil pressure when ideling?, my turck goes down to 20psi when ideling and up to 40psi when moveing, would that cam bearings cause that? had my crank checked and he said it was all good said the bottem half of the engine looked great what chould be goin on up top?

I have a 2002 ford rangr 2.3l and am thinking about putting an edelbrock cam in it. Are there any other nessecary parts that are usually ordered with cams or is it a simple plug and play installation??

Completely depends on the “book time” in hours to remove the parts needed to get to the camshaft. Most cases the book time includes the reinstall time, if not ask about that when getting quotes.
Call around and get several quotes before making a commitment.

That’s Moly paste. Moly paste MUST be used on flat tappet cams for proper break in. Not necessary for roller cams. Moly paste is not harmful to the engine.

How much would the labor cost? Not counting the price for a cam shaft
Click Here Now To Read More Great Auto Repair Cash Saving Tips
no. B16A that brings back bad memories of my Honda days, ok, there really is no good reason to change the cam on a v-tec engine, just get a new head (B18 type R if you can), you’ll see more hp gain at a lower cost and your car will still idle well. or you can get your head ported at a local machine shop for even less.

Nissan tends to be twin cam, and i think some of the new ones have variable timing. its going to be a pain in the *** changing the cam. but price wise i’ve seen anywhere from $200 (single stage one cam, bad brand name) to over $900 (twin cams, stage II or III, good name) if you don’t know that, i would suggest not trying to change your cam or doing a hell of a lot more research.
