I am a mechanical engineer, and an automotive engineer since 1974, and the only reason I went to college in the first place was to understand about automobiles.
At 50-years now I remain a student.
It's because of 'what I know' that I'm throwing caution flags on the field.
Don't take it personal.
I think you're really trying help, but it's 'what you don't know' yet, that's so dangerous.

If you 'were' in school, and this was 'Auto Tribology 101 ', it would be a 20-week course, 100-hours in a classroom setting, plus 20-hours in a lab.
You'd be a grad student, having already spent $100,000 on bachelor's degree.

If, like me, these members were to test this in an old smokey engine they would were about to redo anyway; what would be lost if it didn't work?
I like anyone, was cautious. Till I saw the results for myself.
You may be sure that someone here, in the same boat, will try this... to see if it might save them an engine rebuild.
It will.
But I doubt they will want to spend the time and energy fighting of the attack you will launch on them if they mention it here!
So I very much doubt either of us will ever know about it.
More's the pity as you 'remain a student'!
For all we know; some of those members already use MotorSilk or a similar Boric Acid based oil additive.
