Yup should you ever be fortunate enough to loose oil pressure running on the interstate on a hot day you will end up with lightly welded internals. Might take a while to do that with modern stuff. Certified aircraft engines are tested to run for 30 minutes at 75% power on no oil pressure
Boric acid doesn't form some sort of very hard alloy/ carbide/ material on the bearing or mating surfaces?
