Of course you're going to recommend it if you sell it and profit from it. I knew a guy back about 30 years ago when Slick-50 was the rage with its PTFE resins. He treated his lawn mower with it, drained all the oil out and fired it up, and let it run for 6 hours, shut it down so he wouldn't disturb his neighbors. Little did he know that that additive turned oil into some kind of acid (so I heard, I may not know what Im talking about) junked a lot of engines after prolonged use and retreating. I dont see Slick-50 anywhere today. You may have a legitimate product, but like Lake Speed Jr. Says "SNAKE OIL" ... He may be wrong about this product, even so, I wouldn't spend $37 to $75 plus shipping. for every oil change especially now with the astronomical price of oil that it is nowadays. Peace ✌️
Remember he’s not saying to put this in your daily Honda civic, he’s putting it 75-150k race engines where that $75 is nothing if it gets a bit of extra life out of the parts. Will it probably help in your daily as well? It’s possible, but the body will rot in half first so the potential life increase is never actualized. Since you’re clearly not a long time viewer there’s a story to how he came up to recommending this product, and before that he would have called it snake oil as well. 1 customer was getting better life out of components then the rest between engine refreshes, and the data logs will show it wasn’t because he was just taking it easy on the engine, the only difference was he was running rev X so Steve looked into it and became a believer. Now you can believe his promotion of it is honest or not, but this isn’t some over night thing that happened. Many additives really can actually help improve mileage or engine life, the problem with basically all of them that aren’t just snake oil is the cost of using it is more then the potential gain. That cost issue is not an issue when the engine costs a hundred grand.
I personally have found that using "Prolong" engine oil when putting an engine together protects the engine better than anything I have seen but the best way that I have found to prove what Prolong is capable of was on brushless ducted fan motors, I ran a test on 4 different fan units and there was a substantial increase in the 3 motors that I used it on versus the one that I didn't
I run RevX in 2004 non deleted 6.0 power stroke. Yes still have Egr cooler, bulletproof one, but still has it. 250 thousand miles, my work/ plow truck. Owned for 15 years. Every oil change, I use two bottles. Takes about 50 miles, huge difference in start up. And performance. Power stroke using engine oil to make injectors work. RevX definitely helps.
I ain't shitten on anyone, but I will never use additives. I will stick with my Maxima Oil... That looks like a Sonnys BBC Racing Head. So is it the Hemispherical BBC? One day, I'll have a Sonnys Hemispherical headed 5.000 BBC with a gear drive vortech v30-131 on it.
I was thinking of a piece of flat bar shaped to the front making the mount like a T. It would help twisting and offer a place to mount something if needed.
If it "bonds" with the metal in the bearings, why do you need to keep adding it? High priced snake oil... Why don't bearing manufacturers just coat the bearings with it?
@@MosinMan76254 I dunno, he just released a vid where he pretty much shit on all oil additives. I'd suspect he would say motor kote while good for nascar, doesnt apply to a non-nascar circumstance.
My gen3 hemi loves that rev x additive. Only other additive I found that works is best line. My truck lives at 5500 to 7000 rpm. I drive 35 mins each way on the highway at 80mph with 510 gears. Doesn't miss a beat. I'll be ordering more in the next week or so
would have loved a before and after oil analysis 🤓🤓 would have been amazing to add to this video. thanks again for another video steve. always taking us to school.
The only issue I have with rev-x is all oils have different chemical compositions and it may work with one oil to be better and may make a different oil worse.
bend a tube to the angle of the engine plate and cut it in half long-ways and weld to the plate. you may even be able to do this on front and back with minimal interference
Steve Morris engines, Lake Speed Jr. Is a triboligist. Lube oil guru. He taught me that with additives, the friction can go up and wear can go down. I can't wrap my head around that one.
I was gonna say that with the initial run or 2 the friction was higher just becasue the rev x is thick ( like heavier weight oil) and hadnt bonded to the metal yet. After the 3rd run it probably was back to thinned out after the Rev x bonded and wasnt still making the oil "thicker". ( so to speak). I know thinner oil definitely reduces friction overall.
I think the idea is that the additive coats the metal and increases friction from rubbing against itself while creating a barrier to reduce wear to the actual metal. Like how spraying bedliner on metal increases the friction between your shoe and the metal so you don’t slip, while creating a barrier that prevents wear to the actual bed
The better way to test this theory of friction up, wear down, is with a regular wear testing rig , similar to the unit project farm tests with., it monitors the electrical consumption, and you can measure the wear spot on the bearings..
i would be interested in the same test showing engine oil temperatures. We used a product YEARS ago that did the same thing you found in this testing but we noticed a 20-30 degree oil temp drop in an asphalt oval track car.
Oil Extreme...oil additive showed a H.P. gain when we tested it in our Super Stock Hemi's 2004 on a D.T.S. dyno they gave me over 20 cases I used it on my customer engines too. I also tested Polydyne TX-7 and ran it in the engines it did a weird separation thing w/redline racing oil, so we quit using it also, it was a 50wt. additive pretty thick. we were using 0-5wt. redline we tested 0-2wt. but found no advantage.
back in the late 70's or early 80;swhen pro- blend came out i sold a lot of it and personally used it in my 496 bb chev brkt car and a friends 482 bb chev brkt car . with engines hot and idleing we added it to the oil and in 2 or 3 minute s rpm;s pick up a couple hundred. so with todays knowledge no doubt it will make more power. maybe the 532 has really tight clearances ana 2 pulls wasn't enough time for it to mix well enough ...just a thought
Numbers come down do to changing the viscosity of the oil, maybe? Then the numbers come back up as it mixes with the oil and heats up, maybe? The product seemed a little thicker than a 30 weight oil, from what I could see. But that's the only thing that changed. Therefore my guess about the viscosity. Interesting video nevertheless.
I think it was the overall fuel temperature change, making it lean out slightly as runs were made. probably a bit fat and leaning out tickled a few HP more, and back down after cooling.
1% difference in power, but not monitoring cell atmospheric conditions... pretty meaningless. Short of making pulls at identical oil and coolant temps, and keeping correction factor less than 3% difference between sweeps that you want to compare, with a recently calibrated load cell...
Hey now, just because RevX didnt save your 100,000hp engine doesnt mean its not a good product and it couldnt have saved steves 4000hp engine! Im sure you will find the right additive for your 100,000hp twin turbo, quad supercharged with a million dry shot of nitrous, on 400° of timing, engine.. 🙄🤦♂️🤨😂
What i don't understand is headers for some type of endurance application yet crank stroke and rpm that would make this thing eat pistons from piston speed????
Must be really tough being spread thin all over the place trying do everything for everyone when you are still a smallish growing business. There is a time where you can be too popular.
I remember back in the day when Slick 50 was all the rage. I tried it in my tow vehicle and lost most of my oil pressure in one day! Drained it out, new oil and filter and pressure came back.
I used Slick 50 in a 3 wheeler I bought for my wife back in 87. It was brand new with maybe an hour of run time on it. I added the Slick 50 and went out and rode it hard for about 30 minutes. As I was making my way back home I could tell a noticeable difference in how good it ran. It was faster and idled way smoother. I know it was breaking in but I've never seen a 3 wheeler run as good as that one did after the treatment.
I appreciate the persute to test and try new things. But this stuff appears to be the next snake oil. Certainly within the margin of test error. I think even if there coukd be a difference from one snake oil to another. It is not a good area to waist time recources. Amsoil or redline and put in the effort to get the right viscosity for the application and focus on other more tangable things that can yield power. IMO.
Hey Steve there is a heap of Aussies that have come over for powercruise and burnout competitions it would be great for you guys to link up and atleast have a conversation with the guys would love to see it mate.. love from aus 🇦🇺
I would make the mount with the angle piece as you stated but would also add a top and bottom piece similar to how an I beam is made. Make sure it’s done as to spread the load so that you don’t have a high stress area than can prematurely fail from vibration and flex
Weld in Triangular gusset’s to that plate from the mount point back towards the block. Sized to suit the header’s & or mount/service impediment issues. No flex guaranteed, like a boxed 9 inch diff. 🤔…Unless it’s fitted to an SMX…✨🛠✨
You could make those hemi motor plates out of say 1 inch aluminum and mill most of it down to 1/2 inch so you have strengthening ribs. It would cost a bit but make it pretty strong.
Not at all related to this vid, but clikb8 is in the country (from Oz), and being a wagon I'm assuming you will have some interest in going for a skid with Mick Hinchy if the opportunity arises. I hope you read this and pursue the chance of such an experience.

I will say this to all, Rev X or not ? To put years of time,many many hundreds of thousands into machinery, build SMX & SML he is risking more than the 10 cents he would be making from Rev X. I could say without contradicting, it would do zero harm and he knows and really believes in the product. Otherwise why would he risk all he has set up and built = just food for thought. I cannot for the life of me see it as a money grab to those who are failing to see in his knowledge first hand= just saying
Motocross Action reported a test on a Husqvarna 450 motocross bike. The Rev X man bought a used bike. Rode it, then put 2 Oz Rev X in it. Ran it for a while. Let cool and then ran again. Then took the radiators off, drained the coolant and the a MA test rider rode in 90 degree heat for about 40 min til it stopped. They let it cool. Then trail rode for 35 min til it stopped. Then disassembled the engine on video and found no scuffing, galling or wear. I bought 2 bottles for my dirt bikes immediately. Then did an oil change on my 6.2l 2022 Silverado and put a bottle in that. Took the same 1300 mile trip I do every year and got almost 1 mpg better. I believe!
Here's one for the RevX guys. Friend has a 6 cylinder overhead cam boat engine built in the early 1950's. Has developed a backfire through the carburetor. I believe it's from running for years on first low lead then no lead fuel. Expect to see galled valve guides when we get the head apart. There is also some camshaft galling. We will be running RevX in it when we get it back together!
I love Steve Morris Engines. Steve is a great guy. He builds some really epic stuff, and has a top notch facility. Great company, and wonderful family! Where things go sort of south for me: If an oil company sells a lot of oil they are considered a profitable oil company... If they sell additives, they are doubly so. Additives make hand over fist more money then selling oil by the quart. It may work just as well as switching to synthetic oil from standard oil. Honestly, idk if I believe the modern day snake oil. I send samples in every 15k miles and things are going very well for my 100k mile all aluminum 6.0 Gen iv... No reason to double the cost of my oil changes. Now, if you guys with $100k under the hood want the protection, it's gonna cost you $75 for 5oz... If you want to pay the premium for your 3500hp engine, no problem with that. I rather buy gold. But no foul against the oil company for selling an additive. It sure does make for good profit of course, and maybe adding 10% to your engines already short life cycle? Maybe? I would love to see a long term test with someone using this stuff with every oil change and list of how many passes they have made before having to tear down and swap out bearings, rods, rings, pistons, lifters etc. The real test would be to compare a fairly similar pass count engine to one that does use this stuff. See what the parts look like at the "end" of their life cycle. Cheers
HP per dollar says its a winner. Even a tiny bump at low price is good. Plus there may be extra protection to boot. Edit to clarify, was watching at work and thought he said 10 HP gain.. LoL
Awesome Mr. Morris. Myself am very into innovative lubes and wear protectors added to good oil with noticeable results, is how we’ve gotten the winning recipes over the decades even though not all of them work. Would love to see a before and after on your SMX or SML after some good heat cycles.
Why did it look like it lost 30 pounds oil pressure right before you let off , may be the last 500 RPM. Or am I missing something? I used Rex-X for years in my diesel shop before I retired.
In the 80s I worked for a distributor of optimoil one product was100to1.2cyl oilyou fill the tank you could tell the instant the fuel hit rpm would shoot up
I've used Optimal 2 stroke oil for 40 years in snowmobiles , dirt bikes, boats, chainsaws. Never had any motor issues, I was scared to do the 100 to 1 so I mixed at 80 to 1, still way leaner than recommended 40 to 1.
I bought a bottle of Rev X but have not tried it yet. If I gain 5 HP it's a big deal. I tried some thinner full synthetic oil but did not see any power gain. I was told the thinner oil (that I used) needed to be at a higher temp for it to show any HP gains.
@steve Morris engines In Europe we have something similar. its called METABOND. We use it in our car and racecars. it is magical. no oil presure and no damage to the engine. it needs 600 miles to fully integrate.
You can't really quantify anything from this. The dyno was all over the place. I would work on figuring that out and then repeating this test in the future if you want a real back to back test to validate the results.

Motor-"you sure about that" 😂

As long as you’re testing please try motorkote!😎🌊💙👏
Weld a thin strip along the top and bottom of the engine mount and that should take out the harmonics of the engine mount and make it stronger also
Considering how good their (Rev X)stuff worked on your engine the prices are pretty reasonable.
why is the oil pressure dropping almost 30psi at over 6000 rpm? that worries me. is the filter going into bypass?
@12:00 can ya weld angle iron along outside the mount plates 🤔
Ya know like 1 long one and 2 shorter ones staggard faced down
STEVE said a little expensive I run Royal Purple in my car and one bottle of that stuff in Canada cost more than the oil change at 7 L. OUCH!

That test really didn't show anything at all. Why doesn't Revex have test results to show everyone ?

Use a turnbuckle and Plate pad bolted to the motor plate and the mount that bolts to the pad. similar to a 4 link bar.

Then took the radiators off, drained the coolant and the a MA test rider rode in 90 degree heat for about 40 min til it stopped. They let it cool. Then trail rode for 35 min til it stopped. Then disassembled the engine on video and found no scuffing, galling or wear. I bought 2 bottles for my dirt bikes immediately. Then did an oil change on my 6.2l 2022 Silverado and put a bottle in that. Took the same 1300 mile trip I do every year and got almost 1 mpg better. I believe!
Here's one for the RevX guys. Friend has a 6 cylinder overhead cam boat engine built in the early 1950's. Has developed a backfire through the carburetor. I believe it's from running for years on first low lead then no lead fuel. Expect to see galled valve guides when we get the head apart. There is also some camshaft galling. We will be running RevX in it when we get it back together!
I just don’t trust a guy telling me how good his product is when he makes money from telling me how good it is.
Steve doesn’t make this. He sells it! 👍🏻
That's the point of advertisement. That's what it is.
I love Steve Morris Engines. Steve is a great guy. He builds some really epic stuff, and has a top notch facility. Great company, and wonderful family! Where things go sort of south for me: If an oil company sells a lot of oil they are considered a profitable oil company... If they sell additives, they are doubly so. Additives make hand over fist more money then selling oil by the quart. It may work just as well as switching to synthetic oil from standard oil. Honestly, idk if I believe the modern day snake oil. I send samples in every 15k miles and things are going very well for my 100k mile all aluminum 6.0 Gen iv... No reason to double the cost of my oil changes. Now, if you guys with $100k under the hood want the protection, it's gonna cost you $75 for 5oz... If you want to pay the premium for your 3500hp engine, no problem with that. I rather buy gold. But no foul against the oil company for selling an additive. It sure does make for good profit of course, and maybe adding 10% to your engines already short life cycle? Maybe? I would love to see a long term test with someone using this stuff with every oil change and list of how many passes they have made before having to tear down and swap out bearings, rods, rings, pistons, lifters etc. The real test would be to compare a fairly similar pass count engine to one that does use this stuff. See what the parts look like at the "end" of their life cycle. Cheers
HP per dollar says its a winner. Even a tiny bump at low price is good. Plus there may be extra protection to boot. Edit to clarify, was watching at work and thought he said 10 HP gain.. LoL
Think I would start all over with engine mounts! That’s horrible fab job on engine mounts 😮
Awesome Mr. Morris.
Myself am very into innovative lubes and wear protectors added to good oil with noticeable results, is how we’ve gotten the winning recipes over the decades even though not all of them work.
Would love to see a before and after on your SMX or SML after some good heat cycles.
Any distributors for rev X in Australia Steve?
I can send it or set you up maybe
@@stevemorrisracing will be coming over later this year for a holiday too watch the haltech world cup if your going to be there?
Why did it look like it lost 30 pounds oil pressure right before you let off , may be the last 500 RPM. Or am I missing something? I used Rex-X for years in my diesel shop before I retired.
How much revx would I put in a Ninja 300?
In the 80s I worked for a distributor of optimoil one product was100to1.2cyl oilyou fill the tank you could tell the instant the fuel hit rpm would shoot up
I've used Optimal 2 stroke oil for 40 years in snowmobiles , dirt bikes, boats, chainsaws. Never had any motor issues, I was scared to do the 100 to 1 so I mixed at 80 to 1, still way leaner than recommended 40 to 1.
@@riverratt8626 we ran 100s of pc equipment 100To1 never an issue. They had every kind of oil and grease it all worked as they claimed
Less wear & less friction could be the same thing. & less friction the more Horse power.
I bought a bottle of Rev X but have not tried it yet. If I gain 5 HP it's a big deal. I tried some thinner full synthetic oil but did not see any power gain. I was told the thinner oil (that I used) needed to be at a higher temp for it to show any HP gains.
@steve Morris engines In Europe we have something similar. its called METABOND. We use it in our car and racecars. it is magical. no oil presure and no damage to the engine. it needs 600 miles to fully integrate.
You can't really quantify anything from this. The dyno was all over the place. I would work on figuring that out and then repeating this test in the future if you want a real back to back test to validate the results.
