Teflon spray, oil shedding and crank journal preparation Options

[brer]

Through discussion with some coatings shops and engineers I've been given the name and source of an oil shedding teflon coating that comes in an aerosol can.

For treating the crankshaft journals (1-2mil) and thicker on the rest of the crankshafts and rods. Spray on, polish with chemwipe after it dries. compatible with motor oil.

The chemical engineer I spoke with also races Austin Sprites and uses it on his crank and bearings when building. He is an engineer at this company, they also sell dry film lubricant products and services for more money, and he specifically recomended this aerosol teflon product instead of treating the bearings with the dry film process.

We had a really good 30min. conversation about Austin engines and cars, so I'm feeling like he was being a cool and offering some free info.

Minimum order is a 10 can case.
anyone else maybe interested in trying it out?
I'd like a can to play with.
approx. $30 a can, maybe a few bucks less.

(total cost would be split evenly by the way,
zero interest in it for me other than not having to buy a whole case for myself.)


benefits according to him are for protection on startup, combined with engine honey, on the journals.
Treating the rest of the crank and rods is the typical "oil shedding" coating people pay money for.
Nothing sticks to teflon, and on non abrading surfaces the teflon coating doesn't come off and is temp. rated for engine internals.
Cant think of anything other info that might be of interest... other than he has experience with cryo treated cranks wearing quicker than nitrided cranks which I thought was interesting.
