Anti seize lube

[Fire Dog]

When only the best will do…. Nuke it!
40 year old can I inherited and still a bit more than half left!
Someone else mentioned to not use the copper based stuff as it can chemically react that goes for the silver aluminum stuff as well.
Also not to worry about metal particles, the metal is down in the micron size and will definitely not cause problems.
Stick with the Nickel based stuff {it doesn’t matter if it‘s not Nuclear grade…} or use Assembly Lube which any good auto supply can provide. The stuff is tacky enough to form a surface film between the crank and rod bearings and valve train bits so that when you fire up the new system it isn’t running dry till the oil pump gets the gallery’s filled… It will be there until it is needed and never runs away from the surface that it is put on.
When it comes to using Never Seez I think that if you just stand near a can for more than 2-3 minutes it will sneak out of the can and get all over you….

Ya, but it'll still look good.....
This is one of many that never stranded me....both of us from 1947..View attachment 1628946

Besides, I keep my rifle away from fires so the grease doesn't degrade...

Is that Knuckle Head a 74 or a 61?
I note the side shift... Suicide clutch as well?
My first ever bike was a 1942 WLA 750 Flat Head.
Rocker clutch, side shift with 3 sp forward and a reverse so if a sidecar was mounted they could back them up.

42 WLA....cool

Knuck was a 61ci. Foot clutch, hand shift. Mostly stock. A couple of judges told me that it would score 85 or so at a show. Some minor details to get to 95. Rode it to Milwaukee for the HD 95th.

Areroshell 64 (formerly 33) - I'm pretty sure it's just grease with a lot of graphite mixed in?

I also use it on thread protectors and scope base screw threads. I know most think thread lock on the base screws, but I’m not a fan.

I use Loctite 222 on the base screws and it holds until I decide for it to come loose. Different strokes for different folks.

I’m the odd man out on that for sure.
