Re: [MBZ] Correct grease for brake caliper pins, not black sheet?
I use the stuff that is for smearing on the back off brake discs, heck I use it for lubing the sunroof and other special lube jobs. Moly black stuff is what I use on metal to metal slow applications, it's earthmover grease and may well eat your rubber and give you cancer.

IMHO, Lithuim grease is barely even a lubricant when new, and when old is worse than nothing. I'd slather them up with the moly you have and not worry about it. A good moly lube is excellent for most purposes, and the quality ones never break down or dry out. Even when the carrier grease is cooked out, the molybdenum is left and it is like itty bitty ball bearings. Listers, what is the right grease to use on the sliding caliper pins when doing a front brake job on my '87 300D? Whatever was on there before has turned into a white crusty gunk that is obviously not providing any lubrication. I have a tub of fairly new black moly grease, and I hate to pay the ridiculous price for the tiny single-use packet labeled Synthetic Brake Grease by the counter at AutoZone if I don't need to.

Re: [MBZ] Cessna Jet-A engine
Diesel: A Compression Ignition Engine. Regardless of the fuel used. Schedule 52 Diesel, which is the Diesel fuel sold at pumps for cars and trucks, is very nearly the same specification as Schedule 54 Diesel, which is sold as Jet A.. the main difference between the two schedules is that Jet A Diesel fuel is adjusted for gel point, cloud point, and lubrication elements. Look it up. You can read all the specifications and make your own conclusions. I routinely run Schedule 54 Jet A fuel in my Diesel vehicles because I collect the preflight sump samples and clean them of water residue... I add lubricant to the fuel and run it.. works just fine.

Re: [MBZ] Cessna Jet-A engine
There are Diesel model airplane engines (or were) - they did not have a glow plug, just a thumb screw to adjust the volume of the combustion chamber. They ran on ether and caster oil. My primary memory of them is that they were very hard to start! I'm not sure that the glow plug engines are truely compression ignition engines - they rely on the glow plugs staying red hot from the previous combustion cycle for ignition.

Re: [MBZ] All boosted?
...I would think nearly all aircraft engines are turbocharged or supercharged to help compensate for power loss at altitude. 4% every 1000 feet above sea level... They are not. Turbos are not needed for the lower altitudes and just add cost and complexity not to mention greater care in power management. But, in places like Western Washington, if you want to travel year round south or southeast bound, a turbocharged engine makes that possible.

Re: [MBZ] Cessna Jet-A engine
The glow plug is a starting assist to raise the combustion temperature before start. It is not continous heat.. Combustion temperatures after start are enough to continue the run. Two stroke diesels ruled the world of diesels until recently [last 20 yrs].. I own 3 Detroit Diesels that are two stroke.. 8V71, and two 6V92 8 = number of cylinders,,, V = configuration,, 71 = cubic inches of displacement per cylinder... No intake valves.. cylinder liners with ports and exhaust valves... EPA said.. 2 stroke diesels are bad... they stopped making them... The Aviation Diesel is all the newest and latest for fuel delivery, metering and pressure controls.. latest and greatest... and priced accordingly adjusted for the cost of FAA certification.. of course..

Re: [MBZ] Cessna Jet-A engine
engines - they rely on the glow plugs staying red hot from the previous combustion cycle for ignition. I would say no, they are not CI. Proof? Try to start one without a battery on the GP! Compression ain't enough. GP engines are very old. Many tractor-type engines of 100 years ago were that way.

Re: [MBZ] Correct grease for brake caliper pins?
FWIW I spent $50 or so at the pull a part and got a set of 4pot calipers, rotors in pad in nearly new condition. The increase in stopping power is noticeable over the single pot floaters. -Rolf On 10/3/2012 9:57 PM, Alex Chamberlain wrote: Listers, what is the right grease to use on the sliding caliper pins when doing a front brake job on my '87 300D?
