Folks,
I want to apply some some of lubricant to my exhaust valve mechanisms, there's no doubt the tmeperature on those metail parts is in the hundreds of degrees.
Ive researched this as much as I can and not a lot comes up, silicon sprays a no go, litium grease mentioned but worries about it drying out and leaving a solid residue. WD40, short term solution, concerns about flamability?
Im not an expert on the mechanism but there looks to be some sort of plastic sleeve bearing devices that the arm slides thorugh to actuate the butterfly valve. Something spray on is probably easiest.
I did look at ultra high temperature industrial greases as well, sound extreme but whats the point putting something on that either wont work, will dry out straight away or will even block up the moving parts.
Anyone any thoughts on this.
cheers
