In the total engine friction equation, this area is the undisputed king, claiming about a 50% share. Piston skirt scuffing is a major contributor, and although a variety of coatings are used, they do very little to reduce friction and appreciably increase wear. Piston rings are good at multitasking, but with the pressures and temperatures they must deal with, they go to the head of the pack. But we have a plan that works. MORE

Third on the list is the friction produced by the crankshaft and engine bearings, the amount of which rises proportionally with RPM. Superfinished crank journals help, but none of the coated bearings available do anything to reduce rotating friction, except ours. MORE

Most consider that in engines there are three major sources of friction loss: piston and rings, the valve train and the crankshaft and engine bearings. From all of them the valve train system is the second largest source of friction. Nothing comes close to the improvements in efficiency and wear than MicroBlue® can. MORE

Current turbo designs are generally based on ball or fluid-film bearings. Ball bearings improve response times, but become increasingly inefficient as RPM rises. Plain bearings on the other hand struggle with spool-up, but are far more efficient at high RPM's. MicroBlue® vastly improves both types and makes them bulletproof as well. MORE

Without question, diesel pulling engines push pumps and injectors to the max. With the extreme pressures those pumps produce, friction, galling and wear is a constant problem. When you bring MicroBlue® to the equation, all those problems are solved. MORE
