    Yep. Agree completely. He gave kr an open check book and let him make the build order of the truck. That's on him. Kr made all the decisions and he just went along with them. In a nut shell that's why i don't put any stock in his claims against pp.
    Jeff is the ceo of his business and yet he handed over all control to kr, that is no one's fault but his own. It's no secret kr loves these unproven fuel economy technologies (hello! turbo 3000 anyone?!) So he did what everyone should of known he was going to do, fill the truck with them. Blaming kr for doing what kr does is like getting mad at a baby for soiling his diaper or waking me up at 3 am to feed him.

    The icing on the cake for me is even after so many of these things caused him problems he still has a love affair with kr. How can i possibly give any credence to anything the guy says after that?

    That's completely opposite of how gas engines route their oil. What's the reasoning for that?

    Actually it's not. Another thing to consider is the more clearance you have in your bearings etc the more leakage you have which means more oil falling back to sump before the filter. Or not being filtered. Most engines also have a oil filter bypass valve. Dirty oil is better than no oil.

    The reasoning behind is if there is a failure with the filter being last in the circuit the sump should always remain clean. Which as I said as clearance increases due to said failure the more contamination you eng up with in the pan. A big enough sliver can lock an oil pump up in a hurry. A lot of people assume they are set up like your thinking because a fuel system works that way. But it's all bout microns viscosity etc.

    I wanna know whose asinine idea it was to tear down a brand new reman engine to micro-blue instead of ordering one or taking a core to PP to have built their way to start with. That's stepping over dollars to pick up dimes. That in self makes Bruce the only smart one of the 3. And totally ruins any credibility the other two have.

    Boy KR I personally have no respect for , Dealt with him when they were doing taxes.Payed way to much,had to take them to a CPA to get it done. Notice he guit doing them not long after.Some of the crap he pushes is insulting,Turbo 3000 where are they now.He is someone in my opinion the industry could do without.
