SAPPHIRE® 2 TRIPLE LIFE MULTIPURPOSE BEARING GREASE
Long life complex soap thickened NLGI 2 grease with very high resistance to load and good corrosion resistance. Temperature range -30°C to +150°C. SAPPHIRE 2 NLGI No 2 consistency for conventional application.
picked up two tubes of this from my brother just wondered if you think it ok to use for the bearings in the crank department and other places its blue in colour but that won`t make much differance

Tosh - just check LM doesn't stand for Low Melting point
I've always used Castrol BNS for packing out the mag housing etc - are there any better alternatives

I just checked - its a high melting point grease ideal for bearings etc and its ideal for you. I didn't mean to hold you up, just thought hang on a minute.......... the LM stands for Lithium - so get that engine built fella. Stick some pics up as you go?
