Has it got PTFE in it? If it does RUN don't walk away from it! PTFE is the chemical initials for Teflon. The company that owns the name Teflon (dupont? I forget) won't let additive manufacturers use the Teflon name because they can't prove that it'll do anything other than clog oil lines. Thats right CLOG oil lines. Teflon comes as a powder and sticks to metal moderately well, but sticks to itself really well, so while in suspension in the oil it makes itself into bigger and bigger clumps until one of those clumps won't pass through an oil gallery.... You know the tests where they drain the oil out of a motor and run it? Brigs and Stratton did the same test and found that ANY motor would run for a long time with no load and no oil. They also found that the ones treated with PTFE stuff tended to be in much worse shape when it was all done with. Thats right, WORSE shape. I don't remember where I read all this, but search for it on the web, its out there. For every claim the manufacturers make theres somebody to step up and is willing to show off their data to say it ain't so. The manufacturers always say "well we can't release the data for proprietary reasons." Sure mac, sure.
