Apparently it lubricates initially during installation and then gets tacky to prevent movement.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

10 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

The small tube of 'Porsche' grease for the spark plug tube o-rings cost about as much as a set of tubes. Is there a standard grease out there that works as well, a moly based grease or other high heat version?

POST 2Original post

3M Silicone Paste? Comes in a can like antiseize. Usually a lifetime supply.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Aha! I think I have some already......8 oz, pretty much a lifetime supply. Thanks.

POST 4Original post

http://www.lowes.com/pd_316733-1003-...la&cagpspn=pla $3.50 from Lowes

POST 5Original post

Exactly where is the grease applied, the o-rings? Thanks Van, I'll be going to Lowes to pick up a tube.

POST 6 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

O-rings. Might want to take them off to apply in case they roll when inserted. At the end of this thread is a cheap method I came up with for getting the tubes out.... https://rennlist.com/forums/996-foru...-change-2.html to add to the list of removal techniques.

POST 7Original post

Yes, I put a little dab on my finger tip, then rub it all over the o-ring, then assemble.

POST 8Original post

I'm sure the stuff listed will work. The manual actually recommends tire mounting grease as the alternative. I just asked tire guy for a little and he gave me a glob. Apparently it lubricates initially during installation and then gets tacky to prevent movement.

POST 9Original post

I would also recommend engine assembly grease. It can be found at most auto parts stores.

Great tip Van. Picked up a 1 oz. tube today @ Lowes for $3.47, O-ring lubricant, silicone compound. They had 2 tubes left.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
