try ptfe tape (30p or so from a plumbers merchant). about 5-10 turns on the threads, in the opposite direction to the threading. So, if you're looking at the bb shell frm the side of the bike and gonna turn the bb cup clockwise to tighten it, put ptfe tape on it anticlockwise. you still need to grease the bb.
