The kit sure looks impressive on the table.

You notice he used what looks like white grease to lube everything up?
I hope he did not goop up the rings with that stuff.
Engine compression needs to get behind them, and force them into the cylinder wall, to seat properly.

Yeah,I noticed that...wonder what is? Hope it was oil soluable.I hope he didn't use that on the rings too. I thought he said the project was finished and running but I have been wrong before..

He did say it was running, and has another thread that sounds like he may have smoked the trans. His luck resembles mine.

That white stuff he is using looks like the assembly lube .


No. 105 Motor Assembly Grease
Calcium Type Grease
For all engine and transmission assembly
Prevents rust
LUBRIPLATE No. 105 is a white, waterproof, NLGI No. 0, grease type lubricant possessing exceptional anti-seize properties and recommended extensively for coating all moving parts for motor assembly and rebuilding.
The suggested procedure is to apply LUBRIPLATE No. 105 as a light coating by means of a brush or swab or by spraying to all moving parts of the engine. This will include such applications as valve stems, pistons, rings, timing gears, main and rod bearings, and, in fact, every moving part of the internal combustion or diesel engine. This is to take place prior to assembly. This procedure will eliminate corrosion and seizure after the initial start.

I have a tube in the garage
We used to use this stuff at the dealer. You are not supposed to use too much. They say it can clog up the oil filter at start up but I have never seen it happen.

[nutz4c4]

It sure looked like he used enuff.....

Pete, the old Marines loved Lubriplate. Did you ever use it?

Never did. I use Melling Assembly lube for the bearings, tips of push rods etc.
I use a light finger smear of oil on the rings, and if it will sit, I will mist a light coat of WD-40 on the exposed steel or iron.
That is what I was taught in the 80's, and I never deviated.
