The old fashioned method was the big flat tin of grease you heated on stove,
But several sprays, I use Silkoline,or Bulldog BDX, the later is also great as a freeing agents for stuck nuts and bolts, It freed all my engine studs ,so I could get the motor out, Applying, take the bike for a run, Get it warm, When you get home, Put on centre stand, in 1st gear so the wheel turns slowly, spray onto chain and sprockets were they meet at the bottom run, Careful of the over spray Sent from my SM-A546E using Tapatalk 5

I have a local source for most O rings
A company called Hayley Group On a local industrial estate, the Hereford branch are really helpful, Imperial, metric,fuel resistant etc, And the bonus, normally a fraction of the cost of NOS, Take a sample, and the item, like tappet cap ,they will find the size needed Sent from my SM-A546E using Tapatalk 6

I can't
But most do not contain the rubber pucks, Also the valve stem seals can be a bit iffy Might be worth buying those separately Sent from my SM-A546E using Tapatalk 7

Using the 8-L would make them even more prone to fouling at tickover and low load,
Must be for high load ,like racing Sent from my SM-A546E using Tapatalk 11
