    I recently tore down my L67 for a reseal and to freshen everything up in general along with doing some mods along the way. One thing I did was port my blower and make a block off plate for the silencers, then JB welded it into place. After cleaning all the aluminum powder out of the case I realized I had also cleaned away most all of the grease on the needle bearings. What kind of grease is used on these? I have done some searching and have been unable to come up with anything. Thanks for any input!

    There is a proper grease which you can get from zzp or intense.

    I checked earlier at ZZP and they are sold out, plus do not list specs on what oil it is, they just state it is the same GM uses... Guess I will be checking intense, or maybe just ask the deal when I go to get supercharger oil later this week.
    Thanks everybody

    Sometimes ZZP has the item in stock they just dont get around to updating their website.. I see that all the time. I live close enough I just go by and ask. You should call them.. And ask if they have any in stock..

    Are we talking about grease or oil?

    Because the dealer won't stock the grease.

    Its another Nye Lubricants product. Only really available in larger quantities.
