What are your recommendations on lubrication of all those moving parts in
the gill set in front of the M14P on your Yak 50, 52 or 55. They are a very
high maintenance item on my 55M.
Grease collects dust and makes for a very good rubbing compound. Oil ends up
all over the engine. Fretting is the result of no lubrication. Any comments
welcome.

LPS-2 is what I use. You're right, grease could be detrimental. The long
screws that go through the louver itself should also be lubricated at the
ring. Evidence of rust and corrosion can usually be seen around the screw
heads (a brownish-orange color) if the screws have not been lubricated
regularly. Spray the bottom end of the louver where the slotted section
rotates. It is usually easier to do this with the cowling off from behind
the cooling louvers with the louvers closed. Regardless of how you do, it
should be one of the periodic maintenance checks during oil changes. Also
don't forget about the push-pull cable and the ball-socket attachment that
attaches to the control arm of the cooling louvers. The ball-socket can be
flushed out periodically with a high pressure sprayer and mineral spirits or
other suitable solvent and then re-lubricated.

I use ACF-50 on everything and it seems to work great. In fact I think I
would dip my plane in ACF-50 if I could figure out how.
