Copper based grease?
When installing the timing belt idler, Enthusiast's manual says a glob of
copper based grease on the pivot pin and the boss that the tensioner slides on. Is this necessary, and if so why (since the wheel gets locked down)? If it's necessary, will some other grease work? Thanks. Nick |

Any anti-seize compound should work as a substitute. The shop manual doesn't call for any lubricant at all, but I'd go with Grainger's advice. -- Lanny Chambers, St. Louis, USA '94C the alignment page: http://www.hummingbirds.net/alignment.html |
