This is a bit off topic, but you guys have really good advice so I thought I'd ask.
I'm looking for some graphite that I can re-pack into the grooves of a bronze bushing to replace the graphite that has worn out. All Ive been able to find is powder or a stick that would melt away at engine temperatures.
I see McMaster-Carr has a No-Dripp stick with a temp range from 150-450 but I don't know if that will do. (it says store at temps below 120).

John Deere Slip Plate is a graphite paste that farmers use to coat the undersides of mowers, plows, etc. I have used it on model A springs. That might work for you.
 
That looks like similar stuff. The John Deere stuff is a thick paint full of graphite, and when it dries in a day or so, it leaves behind graphite stuck to the metal.
