This is what those companies do for a living… they test their shit out to make sure its right… you are paying for that research and developement. they dont test 20+ yr old engines bob- new engines are not the same -bearings are different metal-tolerances are really tight- you cant even scratch todays bearings with your finger. lassiter was corrected by clark also because he said just use gm assembly lube which is still not the correct ratio- but at least he can see the need for zddp. bury your head in the sand and when old cars older then 1987 wear the cams/pushrods/ wrist pins/rocker arms- youll know why -but doing research then will be too late. just remember that .r.c. was there in the beginning once again and told you so > [@7/28 KUMHO STREET WARZ & PARTY @ Lancaster](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/7-28-kumho-street-warz-party-lancaster/33011/32): > > if i was a judge how could i deduct points from someone for having what mostlikely was over looked at dealer prep but is 100% original to the car. you would be a wrong misinformed judge because you should have known about the disservice the “super smart dealerships who you think know more then the factory and people like rick hunt-(who i called btw)that built the cars”- have just done to you or someone else’s pristine car by not correcting and doing there job of taking off the factory assembly line shit- that was designated for a machine to recognize- and putting the right part on for you. still doesn’t make it correct bob lets take a $100000 hemi and switch the lug nuts and put the wrong wires on it and let your local dealer-that wants to keep your car original-because thats what they really do-give a 18yr old mechanic the task of finding/installing parts on it-then you judge it- make sure you thank them afterwards too > [@7/28 KUMHO STREET WARZ & PARTY @ Lancaster](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/7-28-kumho-street-warz-party-lancaster/33011/32): > > , the ones who sold them, the ones who serviced them… they were there. And i have, i’ve talked to many people , buick boards, people that sold these cars at dealerships… i wont deny richard knows more about the Buick GN/ GNX than I… what fun would BG or any other event if everyone was so wrapped up in their car that no one lent a hand to someone who broke down or some one who wanted to discuss what interior company to go with… its not about the cars and the parts man… its about the people. he know more then you,the buick boards, the people that sold them and most definitively the people that serviced them-those people dont know shit or did they ever care to-except jay that wants to cash in and he still dont know as much as Richard. he lends hands /advice all the time hers two recent examples he told you about the lack or zinc for older cars- you didn’t listen- but choose to argue with no facts or test results which he spent around $25000 of his own money doing he told ron to fix his cap issue- which are still the wrong year because they don’t have the tip on them-you didn’t listen-you want to call it original because someone at the dealer forgot to replace for ron. which is way more then anybody you listed above would have known or cared to tell you. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/8-sec-buicks/193049)._
