[R-390] Tungsten Disulfide Question

[Tisha Hayes]

I just keep it in dry form. I have a mason jar full of the stuff and it has
never been a problem. When I use it I cut it with alcohol in very small
quantities for that application and just put the mason jar back on the
shelf.

If you buy bulk from the original supplier you can get a tub of grease or
the half-quart bottle of the engine additive concentrate (that I have been
using in my car). One time I "lost" the engine additive bottle (lost in
plain sight, in the trunk of my car) so I just took a scoop full of the
powder (one of those scoops you find in a PowerAide drink concentrate) and
dumped it into a half empty bottle of Mobil 1 motor oil and added that to
my car engine.

I have not been too concerned about the mixing ratios, concentrates, etc..
with the stuff. For the car the only real purpose it serves is for that
first second or so when cranking over a cold engine when the oil had
drained into the sump after a few days. The tungsten stuff is klingy enough
(in my belief) to keep the cams and maybe the bottom end of the piston
sleeves at least a little lubricated.

The only negative effect I have seen is at oil change time. If I do it at
3000 miles the people at the local shop go "whoo-hee, that is some black
motor oil!". I do not explain or elaborate, they would look at me as if I
had grown a third eye out of the middle of my forehead if I explained.

For those who have participated in Perry's offering to the list, what have
been your experiences? Do you think it was worth the effort to spend the
few bucks to use it?
