Hello,
Curious if anyone layers their chain lube. An example would be to put an oil on the chain to seep into the moving parts and tight gaps, then spray on Amsoil HDMP. This would be compared to using one or the other.
Another thought was to use a start-up biased oil, like castrol start-up 10w-30. Soak the chain in this oil, and heat it to equilibrium at 200F or so... This should allow a good adsorption of the surface protection that is designed in engines to protect at cold starts - which would be the equivalent of a chain rubbing cold. THen potentially top it with a wet or dry lube.
THoughts?
