Encouraged by the benefits I m getting of boric acid in engine oil few of friends decided to use in their bikes & scooters....

Earlier I added powder after mixing it in engine oil but then I found good way to dissolve this stuff.......I dissolved in pure acetone......it doesnt dissolves fully but I think it reduces the particle size of powder.....added 8 gm powder dissolving in 30 ml acetone solution in 500 ml watr bottle......kept it for a night.....then added 100 ml engine oil of bike & poured in Suzuki Fiero F2 bike.........

Its almost 10 days now and result is so encouraging....there is remarkable smoothness of engine.....also its running slightly cooler now....bike now takes higher gear at low rpm & also there is noticeable increase in power......It normally takes at least few hundred km for best benefits....

Also done in same manner in our scooty pep & same wonderful result.....its running very smooth now...I m amazed with the way boric powder performs for friction reduction....I havent enountered any ill effect as of now...

Also adding few ml acetone in engine oil might react with engine oil....I ruled out this possibility as boiling point of acetone is just 57 deg centrigrade and within few minutes of engine running it will be sucked by pcv valve into combustion chamber.....

Enjoy....
