In April, we were invited down to Florida for the taping of the very popular "Crank & Chrome" show, for the installation of the MasterLube System on a big block Chevy El Camino project car. The taping was done over a two day period, during which Sam Memmolo and Dave Bowman installed an Electronically operated 2 Quart MasterLube PreLubrication/Accumulator Kit in the Chevy.

"Crank & Chrome" appears on TNN every Saturday and Sunday. Besides the installation of the MasterLube PreLubrication system, they are also gave additional exposure of our New TurboLube PreLubrication/Accumulator System on their "coffee break" segment.

Installation took about 1 hour to complete. The system was mounted on the driver's side front left corner of the engine compartment, and plumbed directly into an extra oil galley plug located by the stock oil filter. They mounted the electric switch in the dash, which was connected to a power source on the fuse block, to a location that only has power when the El Camino's key is in the "run" position. That was it! The installation was done!

Calibration of the system with the oil and compressed air charge was very simple, taking only a few minutes. Once the system was calibrated it only needed to be checked at oil changes under normal circumstances.

Sam and Dave were both impressive with our product, as it worked for them just as expected. They gave compliments to the MasterLube System for its unique concept, overall design, and very clean engineering! They were also complimentary on the ease of installation, and once installed, on the activation of the system. It Prelubricated that big block in less than 5 seconds. They are both been fans of Prelubricating an engine before it is started. With the the MasterLube System ability to prelubricate an expensive engine before it is started, it will extend the engine's life. We got a definite thumbs up from the crew at Crank & Chrome!

We will have our product showing on a total of 8 C&C shows this year — 4 of them will have us on the "coffee break" section, and 4 more with the actual installation and use on the big block. If you watch the Crank and Chrome show, you know it is on both Saturday and Sunday every weekend.
