Hi List,
I have seen this same demonstration with a 6 cylinder engine on a
trailer. It had the pan and valve cover removed after running with the
additive for about an hour. The additive in this case was a product called
"petron", which is a molybdenum compound. They ran the thing without any
lubricant at all for several hours and even hosed the valves and crank
shaft with a water hose. I couldn't believe it! I am still skeptical but
there may just be something to it.
Lurking with an open mind and some skepticism,
