Mines staying together so far running Redline, with 2500 track miles at 230-250 oil temps, staying between 4000 and 6500 rpm. It's had Redline for 10000 miles since engine teardown. Hopefully it will not need to come apart again for a long time  , except for upgrades, but if it does I'll report back on engine wear.

It seems Molybdenum is an anti-wear additive. Mobil 1, 5W30 seems to have about 80 ppm.
