Back in 1955 my Dad purchased plymouth v8. He added moly power carefully so as to not plug the oil ports. At 120K miles he replaced the car. The moly was only added right after it was broke in. He asked me to blow up the motor as he wanted a new car. Transmission gave up after racing around the long island parkway many times. The engine sounded just like it was new.
I had purchased a model airplane engine that the piston fit was to tight and it was hard to turn over. So I put the motor on drill press and ran moly thru the motor. After would it turned over and ran. I put the motor in a vapor degreaser over night. The next day the motor was back like it was before I ran moly thru it.
While in the service my job was to he maintain a larger antenna. The main gear was speaker to be greased with moly. There were two antennas like mine. They switched to silicon grease. There main gear was out of speak and ours was still as good as new. It speaker the same as it did after 6 months of operation. I was convinced the moly is a good dry lubricant. It works into the surface of the metal and reduces direct metal to metal wear under high loads.
I use it with the hope it protects the cam with the new oils.
My motor only has 30k on it since I rebuilt it.
Now if I could figure out why I keep having to replace alternators at least once a summer I be happy. I know I missing something but so far have not found what the cause is. I fixing to make a trip in coupler weeks for three weeks and think I purchase an alternator spare before I leave.
