For the conical bearing, standard high temp bearing grease seems to work quite well. On the worm drive I have tried lithium and bearing grease and although better than factory I still found that it wipes itself more than Id like. I’m currently trying engine assembly lube which is lithium based but very sticky and also contains graphite. You can get it from auto parts stores. From the initial assembly point of view I think it looks like it’s going to be a winner. Some heat cycles from inside to outside at night will be the true test though. I’ve also used some valve lapping paste to smooth out some imperfections in the worm drive but despite on assembly feeling significantly better , I’m far from recommending it at this stage because I simply haven’t given it a good test yet. All food for thought .....
Cheers
