I got some right here! It's sitting next to the prop wash and the relative bearing grease.

You should ask for a HT punch before asking for a water line. First things first, y'know.

Remember Engatwork is busy maintaining his presses and such during shutdown.

My Talon's downpipe could have used some grease, now it has a huge hole in it! Doesn't bother me much but it kind of has that Hon-Duh bumble-bee sound at moments.

Want a good experiment? Fill your tires with compressed C02, then just watch your rims melt away. C02 + moisture = corrosion.

oil and torque needed

Anyone have the Mercedes Benz recommended torque specification for the nut behind the steering wheel?
What kind of oil is recommended?

I'm afraid of applying any torque to my nuts.

While walking around scout camp looking for a left-handed smoke shifter a wise ole man told me to only buy muffler grease from a local vendor. Micro-climates are so different a good local can mix the perfect batch for the area. Causes trouble when you travel tho...

btw, everyone only had right handed smoke shifters.

The next night we went out on a snipe hunt. Came up empty handed tho.

Thats because on the previous night, my friends and I caught all of the snipes and suspended them from Sky Hooks in small cages.

Snake oil, of course!
