Description: For news, updates and exclusive material, follow me on Patreon: patreon.com/jafromobile This is an old, mostly-undocumented process of a technique that preserves engine parts in cars that sit, cuts down on sludge and carbon buildup, and provides an oleophobic surface that rapidly returns oil back to the oil pan where it can keep the oil pickup tube from sucking in air leading to cavitation of your oil system (in other words, reducing your oil pressure when you need it most). I've never done this before. This practice is impractical at best. It's a royal pain in the ass to apply because of the stages of preparation necessary to strip a used engine block of oil and dirt, the time spent waiting for paint to dry, and the fact that it needs to be baked in an oven that isn't in your kitchen when you're done. The surface treatment I'm using is toxic to living things (only while being applied). It takes a month to apply 2 coats and it's explained below why... Absolutely nobody _needs_ to do this to their daily driver. You might be more likely to find this inside the crankcase of antiques with notoriously bad engine castings, or in museum cars that sit for extended periods with no fluids in them. The drying time is brutal if the weather is not warm. The way this stuff dries, it gets an outer skin that rapidly dries to the touch, but because it has the consistency of rubber, you have to wait for the solvent base to permeate that outer skin and gas out. Thick areas may dry sort of like a blister, with a deeper liquid center layer. Sorry for making you read that. That was gross, but I can't think of a better way to describe it. Anyway, I'm doing everything else to this engine that can be done, and obviously my GSX sits for long periods of time with no oil in it, so I figured I would publicly guinea pig myself with this execrable process. If you want more information about the product I'm using, I've already coated the cylinder head and the previous video can be found here: youtube.com/watch?v=77CKFnRHA3c
