| G'Day Rick, I tend to agree with Marco as far as concocting a witches brew of lubricants goes, however I don't say that they won't work for you. I've bought a 5 gallon (imperial) drum of steam cylinder oil made by Shell, called Valvata J460 which has a fairly high viscosity & is also available in a heavier viscosity still which is Valvata J680. According to the technical department at Shell oils, the J prefix designates this as being a gear oil. It also has a sticky/stringy kind of feel to it, much as you'd get from STP. Regardz DJ. OutOfAfrica A's : Saturday I took part of my steering box apart to stop a bad oil leak. It was leaking from the sides and the steering sector housing that connects to the pitman arm. I replaced the leather gasket that had failed and sliped on a rubber like band to seal where it mates to the frame. But the next day it was leaking from the area where the frame and sector housing meet. How can I stop this leak! : Thanks |
