All natural soft mineral powder not sand like abrasives of other common powders. Baby chicks don't scratch for feed till a few days old...
I'm assembling a Kohler Magnum 18 hp boxer twin today whoose bores were ovaled prior to Bore Tech Ni Si Carbide treatment and fitting .020" over short skirt pistons so am about to wd40 bores to hold Bon Ami dusting on them for fast sure ring seating sealing. Will do same to Ms Peel and Trixie too and might even put a bit in the break in engine oil. I am pointing this out for others to get similar results as I and many others have a about 70's yr now but of course expect more will ignore it.
The method on assembled running engine is Bon Ami in old sock that's bounced against carb mouth while blipping throttle then for extra cleaning spray water into blipped up carbs till the grey crap out mufflers tappers off. Will also use Bon Ami to clean off protective coat on polished parts stored way too long. First made famous in early '50's V8's that failed to stop smoking otherwise. Total Seal finally got the meassage about 15 yr ago so now sells their own dry ring seal powder though for the chickens afraid to assemble dry they will tell them can use wd40 to calm novice builders minds w/o telling them the wd40 is mostly evaporated off by time to start and first ignition flashes off any remainder for the dry power seating to work as intended.
