What Hi-temp grease are you guys using.......Is there one rated up to 1200 degrees or more? Does anyone know what the two different springs are rated at? I just gambled on two 38mm units for my twin 5.3

Just noticed the link on the Permatex Nickel anti-seize. 2400 Fahrenheit.
I kinda looked over it thinking just standard anti-seize.


Does anyone know the ratings of the two springs that the units come with?
I just received two of them for my twin project. I disassembled them and clean them. They were full of metal shavings. I took out the larger of the two springs and reassembled them, but the pressure still feels like way more than 8-10 lbs.

Thanks, Brian
