Bryanj:
The book says grease every 1500, i say grease every journey

We discussed on another thread about lubricant, specifically grease type with some consideration to use a black molly CV type grease in these.
I'd favour that as properties of very high resistance to pressure and normally sited in limited use / movement type joints.
May want to consider this, I use it also for headstock bearings. Highly resistant to being displaced and hugely repellant to moisture etc.
Oddjob:
I prefer MolyD for those locations as well Nigel.

I feel there's good evidence (significant thread of discussion on here) to use a modern synthetic in these engine.
Concerns about camshaft longevity, supply to that location and the heat with consequent "clagging" in the high heat crankshaft oil passages, then coupled with oil pump type, all have the potential to be helped by one of these oil types.
No its not because its more slippery, but much more about consistency of viscosity and pace of flow given the architecture within it, that's in my view :)
