Hugh; Huh; I never considered that. I use white grease for exactly the opposite reason since the engine heat will cause regular grease to fling off. I guess the weather here in the upper midwest may not be as cold to cause the problem you tech mentioned. A pretty cold winter for us is avg. temperatures in the teens. It rarely gets below zero for extended periods. I personally have never had nor heard of problems in ignition due to cold grease but I consider myself somewhat uneducated meaning the older I get, the less I seem to know. I also use the tubes of white grease. Along with lubriplate, I use both on just about every item I rebuild from carbs./ starters to the magnum dual speed PTO's/hyd remotes. Wonderful stuff. My greatest concern is condensation/rust from setting on the shelf sometimes for extended periods of time and so I use copious quantities. On the topic of zerks, most of the distributors I receive which have the zerks installed are loaded with grease. So much so the it is forced into the cam and weight timing advance chamber. Although this is partially due to a dried out and flattened o-ring in the distributor, most are from gung-ho grease guns.Incidentally, as a rebuilder, this is a nice problem to have with easier take apart and no rust as well as the parts are preserved(*less to replace) I would suggest though, Hugh, that if you see a small amounnt of grease in you point area to replace that o-ring. I get the sense though you are ahead of the game in that area.
