Heat sink paste in Accuspark dizzy

Just received an Accuspark SVDA distributor to replace the non-vac 009 in Lizzie Lu. The add on kits come with silicone heat sink grease. Anyone have a view on taking the complete as supplied distributor apart and regreasing it? Probably invalidates the warranty, but if it helps, so what?

 

Not sure I understand. It’s a new dizzy from accuspark or you got it used?

 

Brand new

 

Yep, take it to pieces and clean all the Chinese swarf out of it

 

That's what I was wondering

 

The heat sink grease is to help transfer heat from the module to the base plate and increase its life expectancy...... hopefully

Yes, there doesn't look like much on the new dizzy although they recommend and supply it if you buy the module as a retrofit.

 

Have you got some more heat sink paste/grease?

 

Yes, got a bit laying around

 

Great cos if you’d said no, I’d have recommended against stripping it down. I don’t expect the ignition module would last long.

 

So from Snotty's suggestion strip,clean and regrease (with ordinary sort of grease) then when remounting the module use the thermal grease
Job done hopefully long service

You only require a thin smear of the thermally conductive grease

 

Hope so

 

Make sure the grease covers the complete base unit, and a thin smear as valve Andy says.

I.e not a dollop and squashed down, thin smear full coverage.

 

OK, thanks

 

And avoid drink and loose women...

 

Too late, I needed that advice 45 years ago

 

Never!

 

Or was that loose drink and women, I don't know anymore is it an age thing?

 

That’s loose bowels you’re thinking of.
