Does anyone know if Loctite 767 is ok on valve stems before reasembly?

The Triumph manual mentions MOLYBDENUM DISULPHIDE GREASE.

What is MOLYBDENUM DISULPHIDE GREASE??????????

Grease with fine MoS2 powder in it. I usually use synthetic gear oil and a little STP mixed in or an assembly lube.

I believe that is grease that has the dark, graphite color to it. Some what of a multipurpose, high pressure grease reccomended for chassis and front ends and other slow moving componets. Not the best for high speed wheel bearings from what i've read.

I use it alot when rebuilding valves on the submarine, it looks like graphite powder and antisieze mixed together. It usually comes in small cans with a brush built into the cap too.

Did anybody here ever use "JB Weld" ???

I have a leaking plastic tank on a 96 Tiger. The leak is where the fastner screw is on the right front lower side and this is where the fairing bolts on to ,or fastens on to the tank. :hammer:
