I recently got my fuel system in line and could not resist the urge to finally do a pull on it, 14psi wg spring pressure for now. I had performed a boost leak test earlier and could hold 25psi, but evidently the volume of air from the turbo blew out the old tb shaft seals. Under boost I heard a whistle, got home and tested it, damn boost leak.
I have ordered the o-rings and tb gaskets but in the vfaq it says to use silicone grease on the o-rings.
I have some left over from an Energy Suspension bushing install. I have searched the web and noticed that there is different compounds of silicone grease:
Silicone Grease/Lubricants/Compounds
DOWSIL: SILICONE COMPOUND NO. 211 Silicone High Vacuum Grease. This is a stiff, non-melt, non-oxidizing, water resistive lubricant. It is commonly used to seal vacuum & pressure systems. Packing: 500 gms/ 1 kg/ 5 kg/ Packs.
DOWSIL: SILICONE COMPOUND NO. 84, Silicone High Temperature Grease. This is lithium modified silicone grease having greater temperature resistance. Packing: 1 kg containers
DOWSIL: SILICONE COMPOUND NO. 21, Multipurpose Silicone Grease. This is a non-melt, non gumming, multipurpose, non-oxidising, water resistive, dielectric silicone grease. Packing: 1kg/ 5kg/ packs.
DOWSIL: SILICONE COMPOUND NO. 19, Silicone Dielectric Grease This is a translucent, water resistive, lubricant having high dieletric and thermal resistance. Packing: 1 kg/ 5kg packs.
DOWSIL: SILICONE COMPOUND NO. 17, Silicone Release Grease This is soft, buttery silicone grease, meant to lubricate, low load, low torque, low friction parts and delicate instruments. Packing : 1 kg/ 5 kg/ 25 kg packs.
DOWSIL: SILICONE COMPOUND NO. 7, Silicone Heat sink compound It is grease like, milky white paste, compounded with a unique blend of heat conductive oxides. Packing: 1 kg / 5 kg.
I just wanted to verify that the leftover grease should work. I don't know what compound is used by ES, but looking at the different discriptions I would assume it is No. 17 or 19, so opinions are needed.
Thanks,
Jim
