Lubricating 80S 149

[Wolverine1]

It might have been Ron or maybe it was someone else on the old Pentrace page, who advised me to use silicon grease to lubricate MB pistons. Also, I was told to get pure silicon grease from a Dive Shop, since divers use pure silicon grease on their equipment and they dont use silicon grease with impurities because they dont want to take the risk of their scuba equipment failing. So, I went to the local dive shop, and got a small tub of silicon grease for $8.00 (US $s). I bought it around 2003 and still have a lot of it left. So, do check your local dive shop.

Ron, OMCTS is not related in any way, shape or form to cyclohexane

 

OMCTS has a 8 member ring structure, of alternating O- Si-O- Si-O- Si-O- Si, with 2 x Methyl groups (Ch3) on each of the Si atoms

 

Cyclohexane is a 6 membered ring structure, made up of 6 Carbon atoms, and 12 Hydrogen atoms
