340 vs 360
RE has his opinions. They are based on his experience. Some others have had other experiences. Rick does some killer stuff. As I recall, he liked the silicone brake fluid (DOT 5). If I am re-doing a complete braking system, adding bigger stuff, I use it too. I do think it has merit, but I dont consider the effects it has on paint to be a huge considerration any more than my using rubber tools so I dont drop a wrench on unprotected body parts.. I consider it's performance, and in the cars I run it in, it works great. As far as Green's bearings...They are limited by the design. That's true. But there are very few who truthfully will over load them. You're more likely to slide the car before you put that kind of force thru the axle bearing. Not that it cant be done. But, in my world, I look at greasing the factory type. I can take apart 80% of the cars out there, and the rear axle bearings will be under-greased. Because nobody does it. You are much more likely to have a tapered bearing fail due to lack of lubrication, and by overloading a ball type bearing that is sealed. It's not axle oil that lubes them. It's bearing grease applied when the bearings are serviced. The bearings are never serviced in my opinion, based on my experience. So which is better? Which has more merit? which is "right" for your car? Only you show know really. Well, you and the guy doing the work if you have one of those. One thing to remeber about magazines... They dont relay on subscriptions for thier money. They need subscriptions to get more money because more people will read the ads. And the advertisers are what drives content. Guys like RE and Andy F. I dont think get as much pressure on them, but anything from a staff writer you can bet the advertisers get a very nice part in the control of that article.
