Originally posted by RoninEclipse2G That heavy of oil may hide the knock for a bit, but it'll come back one nice cold morning with a vengeance. I wouldn't be surprised if you suddenly have a rod sticking out the oil pan
Yeah, I would expect that if I kept driving it. But I just need to drive it for an afternoon. Hell I've got new motor with JE's, eagles and new goodies as well as a portfueler and a new FMIC sitting here waiting on me. I need to get off my ass and get it done! lol
It might make it like that. It might also be too heavy of a mix and shit itself right away because it doesn't want to push through the smaller oil passages. If you're just trying to limp it from one location to the other I would just try adding the Lucas to a 5w30 or 10w30.
Add warm fresh oil and some warmed lucas right before you get ready to go. Cold oil and lucas will likely spell a quick death. Either leave the oil and lucas in the sun for a while or warm each bottle in a pan of boiling water. Make sure to crank the engine a little with the fuel pump fuse pulled to get the fresh thick oil up in the bearings then replace the fuse and go.
Have a chase car to follow you in case of problems. I've seen cars with rod knock last a couple thousand miles and I've seen others not make it down the street.
