(I'll pull this out to the group...)
Scott,
Thank you for the recommendations. I noticed that my brake caliper grease is black, slimy, moly with some graphite. Would that grease be appropriate?
Specifically, what should I use on the drive shaft (and not too much, I understand) for the TOB "slide efficiency"?
Then, on the cross-shaft bushing, etc., as you mention a spray lube, I have a spray can of white lithium grease (Liquid Wrench brand). How's about that?
I want to use the best lubricants, so I'm willing to make a run to a FLAPS for lube inventory.
If you would be able to identify sample brand names that would be great. Thanks.

Hi ..
I use a high guality red grease ...like a good wheel brg grease
in the pilot bearing.
and on everything else I use moly graph 'black slimey' grease.
All points that move, pivot, or slide.
and spray lube the cross shaft bushings in the BH until cross
shaft pivots nicely.

Hi Scott,
I was looking for the message that you posted very recently about lubrication on various parts inside the bell housing. Can't find it. Would you mind sending it to me?
My engine is due back from the machine shop in a few days and I would like to charm things up inside the bell housing - TOB, clutch arm, etc. Specifically, what type of grease where?
Thanks,
Skip
