Gonna give yer juice a try.Same,
Thanks Danny, I use .030 for a different oil and know that typically bar chain oil is pretty sticky and more viscous.1/16”
The best oil is virgin oil but is very rare.1/16”
I don’t think I’d be able to do that, even if I didn’t see any signs of water.Glad you asked,
After the 1st year of running oilers and pulling/checking shafts after each race and finding no wear.
I no longer pull shafts unless I'm pulling the engine for some reason.
What works for you,,I don’t think I’d be able to do that, even if I didn’t see any signs of water.
On my nitro boats I pull the motor out after the final heat anyway.
Yessir, that's what we do, too, Doc.Have been using oil for over 20 years.
Doc’s oiler initially. I use synthetic motor oil.
Everything that rotates creates a sine wave. Thus with grease if you look closely at your shaft when you take it out there will be areas WITHOUT grease and areas with grease. It will also turn the grease black.
Pull an oiled shaft it is entirely coated with mayonnaise ( water oil emulsion).
We put oil in our oil in the oil container every heat.
There is a lot less drag with oil.
BTW, Mark Bullard has the parts we use to make DOC’s Oilers. We used to sell them.
Call him and he may make one up and sell one.
yes it is a quality product.. anything klotz is goodIs this the castor oil to use?
yep i used the same stuff. by the gallon. shaft looked great. easy clean up. life was MUCH MUCH easier than grease. also i had a pvc tube we stored shafts in and dumped this in the tube for storage. pulled them out and off we go as needed.That's some expensive castor oil. I use regure sig castor oil only about $35 a gallon, klotz castor is $60 depending on where you get it.
I'm a oiler guy
You have to hold it wide open to experience shaft issues .I grease 'em because im old, narrow minded, and stuck in my ways...........now ask me how many cables ive torn up or worn out in 45 years.........I do use oil on my little outboards because the K&Bs come with oil holes!!
Oil!!Grease..
I knew that was coming HAR HAR!!!! I told you im a racer on a tight budget so i only go as fast as i need to LOL!You have to hold it wide open to experience shaft issues .
