I usually use either Moly Grease or Red Rubber Grease on everything :D
and copper on nearly everything else!

especially with these old motors and alloy steel combos!

Dont use copper grease on anything apart from backs of brake pads

I do dip the occasional bolt or two in Nuclear grade anti-sieze

i thought you were taking the piss when you said nuclear grade!

i only use copper greae for nuts bolts, and faces that meet, ie brake pads, and rear wheel shims etc.
oh and all my exhaust nuts and studs.
