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.
02-17-2008
Yeah I'd like to pick some up
02-17-2008
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.
02-17-2008
Put me down for some.
02-17-2008
Me too!

I don't use spit. I usually use sli-glide.
02-18-2008
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.
02-18-2008
How many people is enough people?
02-18-2008
so other than oring lube, what is this really used for?
02-18-2008
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.
02-18-2008
As long as I have the funds when you place your order, Id take one.
02-18-2008
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.Originally Posted by Reptile

I use some silicone grease on the o-rings (injectors, coolant elbows, etc).....no problems here.
02-18-2008
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.
02-19-2008
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.
02-19-2008
Now I am curious...whats the difference?
02-19-2008
Seem to have a higher break rate at the elbow versus the ones not made in China. I found this out when doing a bunch of research for the friend at work needing his replaced. 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.
