Lubrication of the piston in the distributor.
Not sure I made this point very clear before, but don't lubricate with WD40 or similar. WD40 contains silcon, and as it works its way to your Lambda (O2) Sensor you'll be springing for another.

Use the same stuff as those in Lycra cycling shorts. The 'I was never confused' crowd use GT85 on cycle-chains. Use this on your dizzy piston, and spray some every time you clean your dizzy.

If you've been paying attention, you've moved the whole shebang out of the heat by now anyway, so it's a 1 minute job to remove you stepper and fire a shot of Wynnes or Comma injector cleaner in there anyway. Finish off with a squirt of GT85. Careful many PTFE sprays have silicon.

Be very wary of your first can of GT85. It's a thin line. I seem to manage to resist the homoerotic temptations of GT85, Lycra shorts, wrap-around shades and an XC90.

For some it's too late
