Looking for recommendations for high-temp anti-seize grease.
Specific application is ignition advance flyweights on older HD engines. The flyweights are a weak point, the pivot pins and the pins in the limiter holes tend to gall, wobbling out the holes, overheating and stressing the springs which tend to break soon thereafter with bad consequences for everything including the rider's right knee.
After innumerable repetitions of inferior-quality Taiwanese aftermarket units, I just installed ostensibly high-quality Made In USA stainless steel units and better springs, manufacturer recommends high-temp lubricant with anti-seize. For the initial install I used a decent quality NGLI 2 and a little bit of anti-seize paste. Guessing, obviously.
Temperature at that part of the engine (overall) is unlikely to even see 300 degrees, put the localized temp on the pins could be a lot higher. The red dust from galling (aka "heat rust") is a very common occurrence.
Manufacturer recommends lube of pins at 2,500 mile intervals. If there is any way to extend this it's worth a lot because the points cam is held in by a surprisingly slight bolt that does not withstand repeated tightening and loosening real well, and it threads into the camshaft.
Any thoughts?
