Sounds almost comical, doesn't it.
I look for Zinc, not titanium. Someone would have to explain to me exactly WHY I would want titanium in my engine. (???)
I'm changing the oil in my solid-flat tappet cammed 451 today, and I'm using the summit partial synthetic 10w-40. @ 4.95 a qt., and 1800 ppm of zinc phosphates, I figure its worth a try. I ran Brad Penn 10w-30 last year, which I've heard is manufactured at the old Kendall plant.

I've seen the ads, but what is "liquid titanium"?
The ads tell you what titanium metal is, but not the additive?
Titanium alkoxide.
Well, you asked...
METHOD FOR MAKING A TITANIUM-CONTAINING LUBRICANT ADDITIVE
AFTON CHEMICAL CORPORATION (Richmond, VA, US) - linked
United States Patent Application 20090318318
Abstract:
"A method for making a titanium-containing lubricant additive, a lubricant additive concentrate made by the method and a lubricating composition containing the additive concentrate. The method includes reacting titanium alkoxide with water in a reaction medium that includes a dispersant to provide a homogeneous titanium-containing additive product. The additive product made by the method is substantially devoid of acidic components."
U.S. Patent pdf. - link
BTW, Sometime soon I'll be changing the oil in my 451-stroker and it won't be with titanium-containing additives. For now, I'll stick with conventional anti-wear additives, e.g. ZDDP.
