I use a tiny spec of GMC cam-shaft assembly lube on the back of the bolt lugs with a toothpick. Its sticky and will stay where its put until you wipe it off, and is made to prevent galling and even takes a little while to wash off parts in a running engine. If I find the wheel bearing grease before I find the assembly lube it might get that instead; its not an exact science.

Over the years I've collected many different gun oils, and combo cleaners and lubricants. A while back my son and I went on a bit of a rampage of trying different lubes on bolts; wiping it off and trying something else. Nothing worked as well as 0-40 Synthetic motor oil, which in my case just happened to be out of a gallon jug marked "Arctic Cat". I doubt that it would make any difference what brand it was.


Life begins at 40. Recoil begins at "Over 40" Coincidence? I don't think so.
