Cujet I have read quite a few of your posts over the last few years... I know you have been around here since the beginning.. My question is were you one of the original fella's to make the hollow oil dippers ? I know xyzer was one as well. Was wondering if you have them installed in your engines?
Thanks.. and sorry again op..
Hollow dippers were a go around effort before it was figured out that lack of lubrication was not ruining the bearings,, sand and grit was. Then I remember guys actually plugging the top holes in an effort to save the bearing from being ruined by sand. This was all part of the learning curve with dealing with India quality control. Being an engine machinist I thought guys! its the sand, get rid of the sand.!! Eventually most figured it out but by then the golden age of Listeroids was past.
Bottom line is hollow dippers dont add anything to a clean engine and add very little to one with sand floating around in which case you need to buy a case of con rod bearings.
