I used slick 50 on a rebuild that had its crank split into two pieces after 15,000. the case was not bored and bearings were measured correctly. No explaination was found. When talking to a friend who is a mechanic he said he replace 4 engines over the past year, the only replacements he did, and they all used slick 50. he didn't recommend it at all. Coincidence or not, I don't know, but I figure engines have run 100,000 to 200,000 mi with out it, Erik Burtis '71 Westy>
