Hi,
Molybdenum ( dfsm) anti seize grease is a better alternative to copper-slip, and it will take the heat as well, but it is more costly, used it for years in industry without problems, one trade name is rocol, as for torque wrenches, its worth considering "facom" if you find one at a reasonal price

Thanks for all the help so far, interesting info regarding grease, also, I'm thinking about getting Halfords Pro Torque wrench 8-60 Nm seems to cover all the range on my bike.
Is this tool any good? at £74.99 should be OK I hope.

Any recommendation in up to £100 price range?

hi Bomber I've got one and am happy with it. Bought it last year to replace the hopeless machinemart one I had

A bit of an update,
Got my torque wrench from Hallfords for just over £50! I convinced store manager that I'm ehmmm mechanic and he gave me a trade discount card! very happy, bought few other bits and saved about 25% on most items!!!
Now, bad news, 3 screws which holds cover where snapped...
Not sure what to do, to do proper job I should take cylinder block a part and take broken bits out.
I'm kind of tempted to ignore it until end of summer, I'm a bit of scared what type of other issues I will find once the top end is off, plus never done it before.
