When extreinely highpressures are used, it is possible that withthe attendant high temperature maintainedin cylinders there is not present that moist-ure necessary to effect saponification, andconsequently the efiiciency of the valve oilas a medium of lubrication is partly lost,while engine is being worked to its fullcapacity.
