Motor silk

Has anyone heard of motor silk? Sounds like great stuff. Nasa and the military use it. It's a boron based lubricant. I'm pretty impressed with the data on it... I might have to try it. They are making a diesel fuel additive soon that's not available yet.

We ran rislone in an old army mule and an old VW bug and both just started to smoke a lot so we drained it out and never used it again.

Liquid fixes only seem to work temporarily and don't really ever repair anything mechanically, kinda like liquor!! Ha ha

I just saw this got posted in 2005.....

Silk sounds a lot like Slick 50, http://www.slick50.com/
I used some Slick 50 in a JD tractor that had quite a few hours on it but was running fine otherwise.
A week later the engine needed to be rebuilt.
