Moly lube on o-rings

[Scraggybeard]

When replacing my fuel injector o-rings, I lubed with moly lube rather than a grease. Any potential issues with this?

Shouldnt be, cause itll get hot and flow right out the first time the motor gets warmed up. Id just use a bit of clean oil or dish soap or actual oring lube, but you should be fine.

I've always read to lube them lightly with engine oil. Not grease and def not moly lube.

But you may be alright. Watch for leaks. Might want to crank it a few times without any spark.

Petrolium jelly works well for lubing seals and o-rings for instalation purposes. Transmission rebuilders will tell you it works great for lubing every part of an auto trans during a rebuild.

Then I would doubt your auto trans builder for using petroleum jelly in a build.WTF

Vaseline/ petroleum jelly is basically a low temp wheel bearing grease.

Get any amount of oil/grease between the steels and fiber clutches on a clutch pack, and slip they will.

Trans builders use something like that, but it is formulated for auto trans.
