SPQ13 Patrick

This week I learned how the regulator on a variable displacement piston pump can change the flow. As the regulator tilts the cylinders away from the axis of the pump the piston travel goes up and it returns to near zero as the need for oil flow drops and it returns to the axis. I also heard back from PEAK on ELC coolant and according to their service tech most problems that arise are because many people switch to ELC when the gaskets have already started deteriorating similar to what happens when you switch to synthetic oil in a Detroit 60 and they all of the sudden leak everywhere.

  1. Fluid fixes, aka "mechanic-in-a-can" are usually a waste of time and money. As I am sure you are figuring out. (;
