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.

Customer Challenge:

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.
