Mikronite works well,but they were either part of Crane or bought Crane. Not sure if the new Company still does that or not.

Kent cigarettes had a micronite filter.The early ones (1952-56) had asbestos in them.
Now back to the subject.

Some of you guys are tight lipped in here, lol. Have any of you experienced positive results from switching to a Mikronited ring and gear setup? How much did you pay? Where did you get the process done? |

Jim's website shows that he can do cryo, the "Finished" surface treatment or both! I've been getting gears done for a few years and they appear to be lasting longer. I was not in a position to do back-to-back tests with the "Finished" surface treatment, but others I know have had positive responses. It would stand to reason that a highly polished surface would at least have less resistance moving through oil over OEM machined and coated surfaces. A smoother surface would also tend to reduce friction. I wouldn't be wasting my time on it if I didn't think it was beneficial. |

As usual someone seems to get off the point of the post. The question was, has anyone used it?, Did they see any gains? What was the cost? I've never used any types of these treatments, I've also never had any issues with gear sets, however in the quest to find every last hundreth I would certainly consider trying it. Joe
