Tanqueray

A couple of us took a driving class last week. Afterwards, we had some intermittant squealing. When we examined the brakes, we saw that the brake grease (or anti-squeal goo in Mcco's case) between the pads and shims was totally cooked...it flaked off when you removed the shims.

We used the small packets of stuff sold at Autozone -- can anyone recommend something which can handle time on the track without being destroyed? Are there high performance/temperature brake grease products?

Thanks!

I use 'high-temp' caliper grease that still gets cooked every track event. I just redo the shims when they get too noisy for me.

I've had good success with the spray can CRC stuff.

I use NAPA anti seize lubricant. It's a metallic looking paste good up to 1600 deg F.

I also use it on the caliper bolts and lug nuts. I haven't managed to cook it yet.

It's a NAPA brand product and costs about $10 for an 8 oz bottle.

will a Super Trak have the Napa anti seize or do I need a napa store???

Sounds like the best bet...

Mikey

You would probably have to get it at a Napa store. However other brands of high temperature anti seize lubricant would probably work just as well.

thanks mikey....

I just got back from a track weekend and really gave the NAPA compound a tryout. My brake pyrometer showed temps of all 4 wheels at 550 deg F+, and that was after a cool-down lap. I can only imagine they were a few hundred more at some hard braking points.

Anyway, the anti-seize compound is still evident and not burned up on the backing of pads. But the Porterfield R4S's were starting to look very white.
