- I can't recall where I read this but I'm hoping that someone out there
- can verify this. The PTFE oil products will thermally decompose at temps
- over 600 degrees f (combustion chamber/ring lands/valve guide areas prone
- to such tempertatures). This generates nasty stuff the worst being Hydrofluoric
- Acid. Can anyone confirm this?
