LC/MicroLube mechanism

[Bryanccfshr]

I wonder if anyone has any laying around?

doubtful... but if folks are interested enough, maybe it can be purchased.

Sigma aldrich or supelco or whatnot will have it likely... at high purity and small qualtities.

Already looked. Sigma Aldrich has various types. My experience with Sigma Aldrich is limited to purchasing NaOH, NaCO2, PEG, and other essentials of maritime archaeological artifact conservation.

Make that Na2CO3! Sodium carbonate....

Confirmation is always nice, but I think that cyclohexanone is likely the "active" ingredient of LC. My curiousity is wether cyclohexanone is/was the active ingredient in FP and wether FP3000 is a departure from the MicroLube/cyclohexanone lineage.

what are the effects when cyclohexanone is combusted in an engine? any effects on the metals involved in engine, piston, valve components? how about exhaust components of combusted cyclohexanone and effect on O2 sensors or CATS?

Like any hydrocarbon, complete combustion of cyclohexanone produces only carbon dioxide and water.
