Is valvoline actually making the new non smoking muffler bearing grease also? Are their hp/torque numbers any better than pennziol? I wonder if there is patent infringement involved, I'm pretty sure that pennzoil pattented their version of grease.

Patent smatent - Mastercraft patented the tower running light and guess who has one in 06? Yours truly sits atop of every Illusion X this year.

I believe their patent is on the light built into the tow rope knob (or whatever that thing is called)

As far as actual numbers go I've not seen any, but I assure you the numbers you posted earlier sure seem a bit biased! I mean come on, you really believe those hp/torque numbers? Why wouldn't Malibu/Indmar use the stuff right out of the shoot then?

Cost. The non-smoking muffler bearing grease that is high enough in quality to produce those kind of gain numbers in HP/Torque ain't cheap.

New rumor, just in!! Castrol is now making a synthetic version of non smoking muffler bearing grease that is supposed to increase hp in hammerheads by up to 50%. WOW my 247 should fly with that stuff! Has anyone heard where I might get some of this stuff?

hp in hammerheads by up to 50%.

Now that's just ludicrous. And you shouldn't propogate rumors of that nature in a hyperaccurate, content-rich thread such as this.

The newer synthetic muffler bearing grease is a WOM. Just use the standard stuff.

I've got a couple cases of the stuff that I could sell ya. I only needed a quart for my Monsoon DD. But I understand that the Hammerheads on VD's need a couple gallon. I could let it go at my cost: $798.00 / case. As was mentioned earlier, that kind of power gain is not cheap

$798 / case OUCH!!

But if you do use Valvoline

Since we are talking about muffler bearings, does anyone know what kind of grease should be used for the widget arm on the maniform? Just a curiosity
