rebuilding 3 later 1960's 3hp engines currently, so I am all over ebay trying to find and order oem/nos valves, seals, rods, rings, etc........x3 I was noticing that some of the old stock valves came with a grease pill and some didn't. I don't mess with the briggs to much but I have noticed during teardowns and junk ones that have come on bikes that should not have been on there ( and usually just ended up in the recyclers truck when he comes by) is that they like to stick valves. So I went to the repair manual and see they say to use #93963 Valve guide lubricant when assembling. Of course that is an NLA item, I did find someone with some old stock of it and placed an order for a can. Its actually an anti seize but from what I read when trying to find some cheap (its kinda of expensive but actually cheaper still that current types of anti-sieze). that it has lead in it so that probably is the reason its no longer sold. Kinda works out cause theres just about nothing left of my current low budget anti-sieze can here so I was due for a new one soon anyway.
Just curious if there is something comparable, or even better to use. I dont know if any current anti seize compounds would be fine to use for this. I normally just use assembly lube on the stems during rebuild, never thought about any type of anti seize in that application but might have better long term effects.
