Steve, Thanks for the quick response, have forwarded the information to Stanley, we are all Ham Radio operators here and he is about 95 miles north of me . Also the Ham who originally found your website , Ron W9AEG in Illinois, recommends that you NOT put your banking information on the website for your own protection, we have much identity theft over here.
Stay well 73, Skip W2OZ

Hi Skip,
Re: 'Copper-Slip'
Detroit Diesel manuals say to lubricate these bolts with International Compound No 2, or equivalent. Basically Copper-Slip is a very good copper based lubricant, we use it for all sorts of things that you want to go on smoothly and be removed without getting stuck or stop-start-jerking, like cylinder head bolts, crankshaft pulleys etc. The stop-start-jerking properties of high torque bolts can give you false torques or even damaged threads if you don’t lubricate them. Some manufacturers even allow you to use engine oil for this purpose.
I will correct this ambiguity on the web, thanks for your input.
Kind Regards
