"Slick 50"? I always thought that the inside of an engine would be a lousy
place for "pulverized" solids (i.e. teflon - "slick" or not). IMHO, today's
lubricants are well up to the task of "protecting" our engines/transmissions
etc. The only "additive" that I might consider to be necessary would be
something to keep the gasoline in the tank "fresh" during extended storage.
