From Argonne National Labs who works with the US govt and NASA etc, not some student thesis:
The above results demonstrate that with a mixture of boric acid and an oil lubricant, the friction coefficients are reduced by 10 to over 1000% below those of the unmixed lubricant itself. The wear rates of pins are reduced by factors of 50 to 100 below those of pins tested in unmixed oil itself

That's what 1st got my attention and why I studied BA.
Then an old smokey engine came along and I tried it.
That car continued operating for years after till it was stolen.
Now I believe in BA and am trying to share.
Perhaps I should start a new topic:
Looking for 'Old Smokey' (car/engine) for experiment. |
* Personally, I've never 'seen' piston pin wear, only piston pin, bronze 'bushing' wear, on the small end of connecting rods.
* A 'smoky' engine, suffering from stuck piston rings can, sometimes be 'freed', simply with an oil change, because of the presence of the full detergent additive package within the 'new' motor oil.
