Power Valve Assembly

Hi I have searched and searched to no straight answer.. What do you guys use on the power valves and the gears when you re-assemble them? I always used 2-stroke oil, but have heard that some people use WD-40 and grease on gears? Please set me in the right direction. Thanks  :-D

Goat:
High temp assembly lube is the best stuff in my opinion. I just got a new bottle from the local shop the other day for about $14 USD. It's a lot like anti seize but thicker and darker color. I bought Bel-Ray. Their may be a cheaper brand but I'm picky when it comes to engine stuff. I'm sure someone will chime in with another lube that they prefer.

  This stuff won't burn and will stay put.  But it's not cheap.
  Honda sells a small Tube for like $10.00

I would like to try this stuff,  But it's hard to justify the $'s :    Krytox Teflon Bearing Grease

then on the other hand a tube of grease will keep a long time if you don't miss place it

kawi4ever:
Thanks for all the responses.. Do you guys use 2-stroke oil on the valves them selves and the grease on just the gears?
