LIST
Back in the 80s Shell had a "Spin the ball bearings really fast and
squeeze them
with a hydraulic press, test".
Amsoil exceeded the limits of the test without the bearings seizing.
It was then discovered that Amsoil added to any oil would do the same thing.
Amsoil had a cow about the suggestion that it would be more valuable as an
additive than an oil.....
About the same time someone concluded that using STP as a assembly lube on
rings/pistons would keep them from breaking in properly. That, I
thought, was a
back-handed endorsement of STP.
From the 62-65b-body only list (that i have seem to fallen off of
again), came the
trick to use Lucas Oil Stabilizer on pressed in piston pins as a lube,
cat's meow that one.
Also for a-frame and control arm bushings all applications, just did it.
works.
