<x-charset iso-8859-1>f.y.i. I think Lubriplate is also the stuff that John Muir uses/refers to in
his book for engine assembly.

I believe that is Lubriplate Motor Assembly Lube. It is just Lubriplate #105
(I
think) in a large tube. #105 is a very light lithium grease. I'm very
interested
that Russ has been using this, as I've long wondered what a good choice
would be. I've got a can of 105 in the basement; nice to know that it's good
for this in VWs.
