Here I am throwing peer reviewed, published research against the wall 'to see what sticks' according to aerohead.
(While his posts have yet to contain a single link to contravening research)
From the lack of comments (vs reads) here by forum members, besides aerohead, it would seem that nothing sticks.
It's seems that all the research is already coated with Boric Acid!?
Or everyone is scared of being banned..?
A novel approach to study the effect of Motor Silk [Boric Acid]-added pyrolysis tire oil on performance and emission characteristics of a diesel engine
In this experimental study, the usability of pyrolyzed tire oil (PRO) supplemented with motor silk (MS) as an alternative fuel for diesel engines was evaluated.
For this purpose, PRO, euro diesel (ED) and MS were tried in a single cylinder engine...
...With the addition of MS, an average of 9% reduction was achieved in BSFC values in all fuels.
In the case of working with EPROMS fuels, it has been determined that emissions of smoke, hydrocarbon (HC) and carbon monoxide (CO) are decreased, and nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions are increased.
Compared to the EPRO30 fuel, the EPRO30MS1 test fuel released an average of 23.561% less HC emission...
... According to the experimental results, it was observed that the use of MS increased the brake thermal efficiency (BTHE) values and decreased BSFC values.
The increase in the BTHE values of EPRO10MS1 was found to be approximately 2.184% when the average of all loads was compared to the engine reference fuel..."

IMHO The harshest conditions for an engine lubricant is for the lubricant on the cylinder walls exposed to combustion during the power stroke.
IF
The effect of adding BA to fuel is this positive
THEN
What are the chances of it causing issues elsewhere in an engine?
