The compression ring is the least lubricated and highest temperature contact surface in the engine, and relies on fuel to lubricate it.
What happens when the cylinder and compression ring gets Coated with atom sized balls of spherical Diamond? How many changes "if any" do you think will occur?

we have enough problems with ethanol slipping past our rings as it is. ive seen more vehicles with oil burning problems in the last year than the last 9 weve owned our shop. regular oil is slipping by these rings, whats to say this stuff wont make things worse. 3 chevy cobalts in 6 months that burned the oil out and released the timing chain tension. bent valves.
yea ill let someone else risk the investment.
