I used this for a 22 HP Intek Briggs rebuild. Put it on all the new parts, valve stems, rockers, piston rings, cam and bearings.I wont ever know if it truly needed this vs motor oil, but the engine started right up after the rebuild and I feel safer having protected the parts with this.

I have rebuilt many many engines ranging from 283cid to 468cid. Stock rebuilds and high horsepower builds and this is the only assembly lube I will use. I have used it for over 20 years and have never had a bearing problem yet. Very good stuff

This came as described and shipped quickly. Good viscosity and easy to use it appears this will work well for assembly lube for my motor.

Good stuff. Has a lot of tacafier in it. Stays where you put it and does not drip off. yes

I have built my fair share of engines, and I've used a few different products. The first engine I ever built as a kid was assembled with the free grease that came with the engine "kit". A couple spun bearings later and a lot of regret, I started using Permatex products. I have never bought a bad product from them, nor been disappointed. Since using this lube I've never had a problem, dozens of engines later.

This is the way to go if you are assembling your engine and want to ensure the parts have lube at start up. It is sticky enough to cling to the parts and a little goes a long way. I bought two bottles because of the size of my tear down on my Harley one bottle would have been more then enough.

I know this is meant for engine assembly but many people use this in their ratchets and it works! It made my ratchets much smoother during ratcheting, especially the Craftsman stuff.The only bad thing is that it does tend to leak out (even in sealed ratchets like the Snap-on Dual 80 series). The trick is to not use too much of this stuff. Put a thin coat for protection and it will serve you well. Those who are pouring this stuff on are using it incorrectly.

I used this stuff for my 2002 Tahoe 5.3 liter rebuild and it worked great. It's thick and super sticky. I was a little leery at first with the rating, but after reading that the 2 poor comments were from people who weren't using it for it's intended purpose(I have no idea why some one would rate it bad for an alternate use) I thought I'd give it a shot. Glad I did! I will definitely use it again.

I use it to lubricate my ratchets and other random moving parts. It's very slick and you only need a tiny bit for a rather large area. In heat the viscosity drops and it tends to creep out of any cracks. However it does not lose its slick properties. I honestly think one bottle will last me the rest of my life (at least until I lose it).

I just finished putting together a cylinder head for a honda civic (D15b7) The machine shop did not replaced the o rings for the valve train, so I had to put everything together and lubed the camshaft, I gave it a spin, and boyyy it rotates really smooth with this lube.!!! I lubed all moving parts, great product, I give it a 5 star.!!!
