I’ve seen proposals of using buckyballs for exactly this as well, but on a slightly larger scale I think. Lining up the tubes like roller bearings.

Haven’t these clowns ever used Break Free CLP?

Once you put it on you don’t need oil again, unless it is a shaft that needs cooling too.

Clowns? As though, because one method exists, there is no need to research a second method?

Look at a product named ‘Moly Fusion’. It ain’t the black stuff and it works as advertised. Keep it off of chamber surfaces! (Darned voice of experience)
