Red Line assembly lube is designed to be applied to potential wear surfaces before assembly, in order to prevent metal contact upon startup before adequate lubrication is supplied. Red Line assembly lube will mix with the oils and not plug filters. Use it on all lubricated parts, such as cams, followers, pistons, bearings, and bolt threads. Only a small amount is needed on bearing and piston surfaces--too much can make it difficult to turn over the engine. Red Line assembly lube is an excellent corrosion-inhibitor and can be used on machined surfaces to provide long-term corrosion protection. Do not use this lubricant on exhaust bolts or other high-temperature bolts which require an anti-seize.

Sealed Power engine assembly prelubes have been proven effective by more than 30 years of use on the assembly lines of U.S. car, truck, and off-road engine manufacturers. They are formulated especially for prelubrication of camshaft lobes and lifters (mechanical and hydraulic) prior to engine oil circulation. Also recommended for bearings, valve stems, rocker arms, push rod tips, and other metal-to-metal contact areas within the engine. Prelube increases load-carrying capacity of the engine oil during break-in to prevent scuffing and galling. The prelubes have special additives which withstand the extreme pressures exerted on cams and lifters. These easy flowing petroleum based lubes function as oil additives, which will not affect oil viscosity. They also hold fast to surfaces on which they are applied and won't run off like engine oil, even after prolonged storage time.
