[Healeys] Lubrication

[Oudesluys]

Hard to tell, should be mentioned in a WSM or handbook for most classic 
cars, but use your grease gun regularly, say every 6 months as the 
grease may harden (suspension parts, drive shaft universal joints and 
sliding yoke, water pump, shifting gear). Put a drop of thin oil on the 
pivots of the distributor and on the felt pad under the rotor regularly, 
lubricate the dynamo and sometimes starter motor regularly with thin 
oil. Put some oil on the moving parts of the carbs, do not forget the 
cables for choke, speedo, tacho and the drives. Apply some oil to all 
hinges. Use graphite or molibdeensulfide powder in the lockbarrels and 
lockmechanisms etc. Undoubtetly there are many more items. All that 
moves needs lubrication.
The given intervals in a manualare rather meaningless. Check and rectify 
when neccesary.
