MA XIMA OILS SCORE JOURNAL 35 During this teardown and inspection, both Green and Kroyer first looked at the lower main bearings. "We see some minor picking on those, and it comes from the dirt in the engine," said Kroyer. "The bearings themselves, however, look great with very minimal wear. The rod bearings show tiny scratches but no wear." Troy Green looked at the pistons from the engine and noticed they didn't show signs of burning on the undercrown of the piston, (underneath the piston head). "We don't have oil squirters going to the underside of the pistons on these engines, so you would think there would be more heat in this area and show more signs of burning, but there is none," said Kroyer. "The Maxima RS1550 racing oil is very stable under extreme temperatures so we're not cooking that oil at the bottom of the piston with a ton of cylinder temperatures," said Green. "On the wrist pins, these came out and showed no galling. The pin bores and rod bushings also showed no wear and there's none on the pushrod tips." Getting to the point where teams like McMillin Motorsports and elite engine builders like Kevin Kroyer use your products, comes from a history of proving a product over time. Maxima Oils began in 1979 and has worked with many racing teams in a variety of motorsports to perfect their products. According to the company, they are a race- inspired company from the start and work to formulate, develop, and manufacture high-performance lubricants and ancillary products. In addition to the lubricants used on McMillin Motorsports vehicles, Maxima Racing Oils also has products for moto, powersports, and recreational vehicles that are designed to help make these vehicle's engines and drivetrains last longer and perform better over time.
