Has anyone ever used that stuff that you put in an engine and run it a day then use a special light to see where the leak is ? I'm curious, would it be a problem sense the oil is injected into the combustion chamber? Whats your thoughts?



p.s. I got my shirts they are awesome!!!

5 places huh? I can think of more than that. Each junction on the oil cooler lines (engine to line, line to cooler, cooler to line, line to engine), the two oil lines themselves, and all of the lines that are part of the OMP system. Technically, that's a lot more than 5 places .

Those are the easy leaks to find.
