I remember hearing Slick50 advertised back in the day as being able to apply a teflon barrier to metal (cylinder walls and such) when utilized. The problem with the claim was that current technology required at that time for applying a teflon coating (like on a frying pan) was that the barrier be applied in an absolute vacuum. Now I didn't know everything about engines at the time (still don't), but I was pretty sure that those requirements didn't get met in an internal combustion engine. However, even against those seemingly impossible odds, I did try Slick50 in a Mustang GT engine rebuild.

Make of the following results/incidents what you will.

I noticed an immediate reduction in moving parts friction(?) to the point of having to adjust the idle speed down, back to it's normal range. I never had any oil related problems with the engine after it's initial use; no excessive usage, gasket leaks, etc. (All you did back then was replace one quart of your regular oil with the Slick50 during a normal oil change, then continue on as usual. Is that still the same?)

So, it at least never caused any problems during the time I used it. Something did happen that at least made me wonder if the Slick50 had helped save the engine though. After awhile, I ended up removing the engine to replace it with something else, and sold it to someone who had been asking about it. This engine was a Ford 302 that uses a drive shaft to connect the distributor to the oil pump, and when installing the distributor, if you don't get that drive shaft positioned correctly, it will just fall into the oil pan and...you guessed it...no turning of the oil pump. Well that's what happened when the person who bought the engine was doing the engine install, he just didn't realize it until later...later as he was driving the car around town and looked at his guages to notice that he didn't have any oil pressure! He immediately shut off the engine and called me to ask what may have happened, and the oil pump drive shaft was the first thing that came to mind. After determining that was indeed what had happened, and accepting the fact that there was nothing we could do about it at that point, we just reinstalled the oil pump drive shaft to see what would happen.

Well, oil pressure came up and remained constant, and I never heard of him having any other oil related problems again. I never knew if it was the Slick50 that saved that engine, (it still seems unlikely to me that even a teflon barrier would make any difference when you're talking about no oil flow), but there you go.

Like I said, make of the incident what you will. **
