Angel LCD oil/greasing

[michaela2z]

Hi. Which grease should I use for greasing the LPR/mini reg, is Dow 33 the correct type. And are they the only items to be greased or do the exhaust and ram also need greasing? And finally where can I get Love Juice oil and a suitable grease from in the UK? Thanks Michael

I believe grease in your angel is a bad thing, and only oil should be used. Especially on the ram, NEVER EVER put grease on your ram.
Love Juice is hard to find nowadays, but Lips offer Trinity oil, which they told me is exactly the same thing, and quite a bit cheaper too!

How I oiled my Angel 06 -
Two drops onto the hammer
Two drops in the LPR cap
Two drops into the macroline

Job done Never had a lube related problem through doing that.

I don't think grease can be that bad for Angel's because WDP made Love Juice in oil and grease form.

I don't know why personally, but its what I've been told.
Oil form has never done me wrong anyway, so speaking from experience on the oil part.

Oh, and dry fire the gun about 50 or so times to spread that oil around nicely, and then clean up any mess in the breach.

If you intend to do a complete service on the lcd, you'll need a good quality silicone based grease, and silicone based oil. The wdp grease and oil products sold by lips and wdp, are perfect for every angel ever made.
The o-rings inside the lcd will need to be greased, and once re-assembled and ready to use two drops of oil need to be added in the asa and dry fired through the marker to lubricate the workings.

The bolt must always be dry, no oil or grease needs to be applied to the bolt at all.

If you're not doing a service just add a couple of drops of "love juice" in the asa before connecting your preset, and dry fire about ten to twenty times. This will get into all the parts of the lcd, and keep it running sweet.

Ok cheers thanks for all that, it wasnt with the intention for a full rebuild but one day I will have to do it. So aslong as im staying silicone based I should be ok?

Yes.
You may want to invest in a couple of exhaust valve stem seals, as it will wear out and the first signs are a drop in velocity.
