Eaton Fuller makes this stuff in a little bottle that's specially made to fit o-rings into spaces to prevent nicking them...it's got the consistency of honey, but it works very very nice.
It comes in about an 9oz bottle, $20 or so, but a little bit goes a looooooooong way.
Reptile, can you link to the product and/or PM me with details.
Yeah I'd like to pick some up
It's something that we get through our shop...I'll have to get part numbers...
But if enough people are interested, I can see if I can get ya the hook up. :cool:
Put me down for some.
Me too!
I don't use spit. I usually use sli-glide.
OK, here's the deal. I can get the stuff. It comes in an 8oz bottle, cost runs $25 + shipping. If anyone is interested, I can order a case of the stuff if we get enough people.
How many people is enough people?
so other than oring lube, what is this really used for?
Scotty, I'd say 3-4 people. It's really no problem to order the stuff anyway, we use it quite a bit here.
Lee, anywhere that you use o-rings. It's really good for the coolant elbows, but anywhere you need to use it that may nick o-rings. A group of guys could buy one bottle, divide it up equally. It's good for a club to have just one, since you don't need very much at all to use.
As long as I have the funds when you place your order, Id take one.
Ah I understand...it is really good o-ring lube. It must be REALLY slick stuff. Don't let Scotty buy too much or it will wind up in his supercharger.:th_tongue-frog:Quote:

Exactly....makes the fuel rail go right in, also keeps the o-rings softer for a little longer.
I had no lube so I used a tiny bit of plug boot grease. I ended up going to Pontiac and buying the GM elbows. Decided the extra $ is worth saving the hassle. They came to 16 bucks for the 2 elbows. I bit expensive but after reading all the hassle with the Help section elbows I decided not to chance.
I've never had any issues with the Help section elbows and @ $4, they can't be beat. They look exactly the same as OEM to me......down to the color of the o-rings.
There are differneces in the Help section ones, and thus the problem. Not sure if it's visual, but the chinese ones won't last...according to the Bonne guys.Quote:

Me, I figured, no problem, it's got to be just like a GP. While similar it wasn't the same. Plus his belt needed replacing at the same time. The stinking motor mount goes through the belt:(. Thus began web searching. Didn't want to got to his house and look more stupid than absolutely necessary.:oQuote:
