Ok, I'm putting parts of my engine back together and I'm using some old rubber parts that are in good shape- but I'd like to lubricate and protect them.
For example- I have the rubber O-ring right under the oil filler neck. Don't have time to run to Pep-Boys again today so I gotta use something I've got. The choices are: *Engine oil *CV joint grease *WD 40 *White Lithium Grease from spray can *3in1 Houshold Oil Or I probably have lots of other stuff that would apply. I just don't know what dries out rubber (alcohol? acetone?) that I should avoid, and what I should use, if anything. Also, I have wiring boots on the outside- what to use on them? |

Be patient, get a new engine gasket kit, and go to your local pool supply store when you get a chance. Yes, you heard that correctly, pool supply store. Get some of their marine silicon grease. Not the kind that hardens like for glass, but the kind that doesn't dry. Apply liberally to your o-rings for the pushrods and stuff. For things like the oil cooler seals you'll want some non-hardening sealant like what loctite offers.
Be patient, do it right. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |
