I'm carrying out the restoration steps on my 75 "barn find" as per instructions posted on this thread by StraightWings in 2006. Her refers to using EZ Lube spray. I can't find the spray at my auto parts store. Is WD-40 an acceptable alternative? If not, what do we have equivalent in the U.S.?

I guess that depends on what you need it for. If for penetrant PB blaster is as good as anything I have used.

StrightWings instructions are to use it to lube external gaskets and seals, and into the cylinders, then turning over the engine by hand multiple times over a week, prior to trying to start it. The purpose is to lube as much as clean. I used PB Blaster to clean the carbs, did a good job. I don't know if it would be too corrosive for the cylinder walls. What do you think?

 

[DaveO430]

Don't know of any external gaskets and don't know what good it would do to lube external seals but any light oil, PB included should do.

WD-40 has a relatively new product, it contains White Lithium grease in it.
works great for squeaking car doors.
