I have looked through the service manual and it states "apply anti-seize" which I know the concept... but I have done a little looking in the run of the mill auto parts... and do not find anything labeled anti-seize. What do you use/recommend? (brand/label or re-tasked substance used as anti-seize) ...and why that choice? | ||

I use Permatex Anti-sieze 133A Comes in a tube. Got it from Autozone, advance auto, etc. Dunno if electricity flows through the core or surface...AC/DC or whatever ....  It works with coconuts and small European swallows tho me thinketh. DAve | ||

Das, Antiseize compound will state "antiseize" on the can, tube, etc. There are several mfgs. for this product. Works great on Buell wheel axles, etc. Any good auto parts/speed shop will have it in stock. I think I have two or three cans of it in the garage, all being different brands. | ||

Generally, in aviation we use two types of antiseize; the "silver" type, for general purpose use, and the "Gold" type such as C5A for high temp usage such as exhaust slip joints, exhaust studs, etc. The brand name you use is not important. The "Gold" type is such due to the high copper content, hence heat resistance. The silver type burns off high heat applications in a matter of minutes. It also leaves a hell of a mess. Don't get it on your clothes; it won't wash out. | ||

Das; go to www.Permatex.com, click on motorcycle and you'll see the different types of packaging that it comes in (tube, brush-top can).They also explain what it is. It's available at every auto store I know of. I used to live across the street from an apartment building that rented only to students from the University up the street. Every time one of the apartments threw a party, my driveway would be blocked, and I couldn't get in or out. after numerous requests that were ignored, I took to smearing never seize on the door handles of the blocking cars. No car that I smeared ever parked in front of my driveway again. The stuff is great. It keeps bolts from corroding in place. It's also a bitch to clean off your hands. And it spreads nearly forever. | ||

Dave would that be an European Swallow or and African Ground Swallow? Innes - How hard do you have to squeeze a DUCK to get oil out of it??????? On second thought DON"T ANSWER THAT!!! | ||

Is a duckwhey what's left after you separate out the duckcurds? | ||

What's a duckwhey? About 3kg. | ||

3 kg? Is that dry weight, or with a half tank of fuel? |
