When building, or installing new components to your engine, it really does pay to use a proper assembly lube. A high-quality assembly lubricant, in fact t, designed specifically for the job.

Graphogen is just such a product that has unbelievably been around since 1946 gaining favour when used on aircraft engines. It’s been used by many specialists ever since.

The colloidal-graphite paste is ideal as a lubricant in precision machinery as it forms a protective film on all treated surfaces and engine components and improves lubrication, protection and is corrosion inhibiting.

As it’s a paste, rather than a runny liquid, it won’t run or as the Americans call ‘fling’ from components it’s applied to so can safely be used on cylinder walls, crankshafts, valve stems and all rotating assemblies.

As a long-time advocate of Stagg Well Seal I’d place Graphogen in the same category.

As your new or re-built engine warms up Graphogen dissolves and gets out of harm’s way.

A little goes a long way and a 50ml tube of Graphogen Assembly Compound  costs £18.95 and is available now from www.graphogen.co.uk ENDS.
