"It comes in US grease gun tube size AND Aussie grease gun tube size. The Aussie tubes are designed to work upside down better."

Must be a Southern hemisphere thing.

Aussie grease gun cartridges are a bit larger in diameter and a bit shorter in length.

As far as moly grease goes I use. Molykote br2 plus grease. I've been using this on our machines for over 40 years. Everything I've used it on lasts
longer than nay other grease we have used.

Back in 1955 my Dad purchased plymouth v8. He added moly power carefully so as to not plug the oil ports. At 120K miles he replaced the car. The moly was only added right after it was broke in. He asked me to blow up the motor as he wanted a new car. Transmission gave up after racing around the long island parkway many times. The engine sounded just like it was new.

I had purchased a model airplane engine that the piston fit was to tight and it was hard to turn over. So I put the motor on drill press and ran moly thru the motor. After would it turned over and ran. I put the motor in a vapor degreaser over night. The next day the motor was back like it was before I ran moly thru it.

While in the service my job was to he maintain a larger antenna. The main gear was speaker to be greased with moly. There were two antennas like mine. They switched to silicon grease. There main gear was out of speak and ours was still as good as new. It speaker the same as it did after 6 months of operation. I was convinced the moly is a good dry lubricant. It works into the surface of the metal and reduces direct metal to metal wear under high loads.

I use it with the hope it protects the cam with the new oils.

My motor only has 30k on it since I rebuilt it.

Now if I could figure out why I keep having to replace alternators at least once a summer I be happy. I know I missing something but so far have not found what the cause is. I fixing to make a trip in coupler weeks for three weeks and think I purchase an alternator spare before I leave.

Art, et al,

If you have been following my engine issue, you would also be aware that I am a believer in Molt in gas engines.
We put 70K on the engine since we got the coach. A piston failed less than fully catastrophically and when the oil consumption more that quadrupled,
I decided that I should look into it.

In short summery:
The only actually bad part was the failed piston. If I could have bought an identical to replace it, that could have been the only part replaced.
The bearings had been contaminated (but not actually damaged) with the aluminum dust that came out of the failing piston. I did not want to reused
them. I replaced the cam only because I don't know what that one is. The timing chain was loose, but the squirt hole was plugged with a chip of
carbon.

This engine has had MoS2 and M1-15/50 as long as I have has it.

I used to be able to buy colloidal MoS2 from a friendly company that made it. They got bought out buy a big unfriendly company that will not package
and sell to me any longer. I am going to start on a work around when the engine job is complete.
