Anybody in for an "Old Speckled Hen"? wink2
I have a dab of Castrol LM grease in the timing cover, but find it to heavy, as it is actually a bearing grease. It has a tendency to stick where it's been thrown.
I am thinking of using an EP 0 grease, which is a semi liquid grease, and can be found at any supplier of oils and greases. It's thick enough to hold up for the time you need to close the cover.
It penetrates well, and if left standing, will sink nicely to the bottom again. This type of grease is mainly used in machines, but I reckon it should work well in a BSA timing case.
Regarding the Renolds chain, I was wondering if they really are of lesser quality, or are we all getting older and start to suffer the "it used to be better in the old days" syndrome........?
