nothing wrong with this stuff i used it for many years and there are many like stp hair thicker i use that on rope seals. there that are much the same . any time you prime the engine your washing some of this stuff off bearings that why they need to fire up fast the sticky stuff great for parts that take time to see oil to them like piston pins.rocker balls .push rod tips . fuel pump rod . valve stems cam lobes
