Customer Challenge:
A major World-of-Outlaw National race team racing eleven
months out of the year, and more than 100 race days a year. They were
sending their engines back to their engine builder every 10 to 12 races to
have them rebuilt due to the extreme compression that they run. They also
leak down each cylinder each day after every racing event to see what
percentage of leakage they have going by the rings. Anything over 5%
leakage is unacceptable and needs to be rebuilt.
PPAGI Solution:
After adding and using Petron Plus The Engine Conditioner
for a year, they have held cylinder leakage between 1 and 2 percent even
after 12 nights of racing. The rod and main bearing wear has been
substantially less. The oil temperature has dropped 30 to 40 degrees. The
biggest asset is performance. We had a engine re-dyno tested after 7 nights
of racing, and found they had 7 more horsepower than when it was fresh.
They have extended their engine rebuilt program to 15 nights of racing
before rebuilds due to Petron Plus.

In the NASCAR Winston West race in Bakersfield, CA a race
team reported: While coming out of turn two, the driver cut a tire down and
the car sideswiped the wall. This particular car had not been converted over
to bottom engine mounts and still had an engine plate mount in it. When the
driver struck the wall this caused the engine plate to separate 1/8” from
the block, causing the water to leak out slowly enough enabling us to
detect it. After putting tires on the car and sending him back out, the
water and oil temperature gauges both reached 280°F. When returning to the
shop and pulling the engine, they noticed the cylinder heads had melted
below the header flanges which was spraying melted aluminum on the top of
the chassis. While pulling the cylinder heads, they found they had melted
to the block, and while pulling the oil pan, the oil had thickened to the
consistency of molasses.

Conditioner in their engines for sometime, and to their amazement, they
