The lube, synthetic 2 cycle oil, does not wick to the face/cavity or cook off the pins and plate?...if so, does it need to be reapplied occasionally?

I ask because I have apparently just plain, flat ruined a H&G and do not want to repeat that same mistake.

I got out of casting for a bunch of years and slathered a bunce of wheel bearing cup grease on the H&G before putting it in the closet. Its never been the same since.

Convoluted logic directed me to Miha and his no oxide blocks. Now I understand that they need lube to 'run'?

Suggestions appreciated.

thanks,
