Lucas Oil 10152 Assembley Lube-118ml

Product Information

The internal components are damaged due to frequent dry start-ups. Proper lubrication keeps the components running for a long. The lube saves the component from rust, corrosion and other damages by lubricating until the engine starts. High Viscosity: The flashpoint of the lubricant is almost 550 degrees Fahrenheit. This is very convenient for this type of high-temperature application. But you should be careful while disposing of this lubricant to the environment. Because more than 15 percent of the mixture is hazardous to aquatic lives. Now, if you ask me, “is engine assembly lube necessary?”, then the answer is undoubtedly a big YES! Is assembly lube better than oil? A thin coating of assembly lube should be applied on all high-friction, high-load surfaces including rod, main and cam bearings. However, thinner oils also require somewhat closer bearing clearances to maintain the oil film between the moving parts.

I’ll say NO! That’s because there are enough brands to confuse you while choosing the desired one. So, I’m pointing out some features which must be there in an ideal engine assembly lube: Adherence: When it came time to coat the bearings, the pourable lube and the grease make much less of a mess than the aerosol would. Another interesting fact about this grease is that it smells like Cinnamon. It does not have anything to do with performance. But I liked that the manufacturers are paying attention to these small details. Pros

Key Benefits

I’ve also begun using fluids on bolts which are to be torqued. ARP started this trend, and I agree with them. Using a lubricant on a bolt does two things. First, lubricating the threads means the bolt will pull down more evenly with less stiction. Secondly, a lubricated set of threads means a bolt will be pulled down tighter at the same torque wrench reading (more bolt stretch), because friction between the threads has been significantly reduced.

Lucas Oil Semi-Synthetic Assembly Lube comes in a convenient 118ml container, providing you with the right amount of lubricant to complete your assembly projects with ease. Whether you're working on an engine rebuild, transmission installation, or any other precision assembly task, this product is your reliable companion. Opinions vary as to whether or not you should use a straight weight SAE 30 motor oil or a multi-viscosity oil breaking in a new engine. Lucas Assembly Lube protects surfaces that must be assembled, reduces friction, and prevents seizing, galling, and scuffing. By the way, this is not a traditional Molybdenum based grease. But the manufacturer is claiming a three times firmer strength than that. I think they have added some capable alternatives to moly.It is a lithium-based adhesive grease with molybdenum-graphite reinforcement. During the vital start-up period of a newly constructed engine, this feature provides protection where it is needed most. Engine Assembly Lube Specialized, film-forming lubricant developed to protect aging surfaces and rotating parts during installation and first break-in. The overall performance and value it provides are average. But you can not call it sub-par. So, if you want to buy this over others you can always do it. You won’t have to regret it. Pros Although you can use just engine oil or any general-purpose grease as an assembly lube. But this is not recommended. There are many engine assembly lubricants in the market formulated by the experts. You should use any one of them to keep your engine safe and healthy. Q. What is the engine assembly lube used for?

Many high-quality greases have anti seize compounds added as additives. In that case, they will protect you from galling, seizing the engine parts. This grease is nourished with additives that provide extreme performance. Hence it protects the engine from failing in the initial startup. For this article, I will try to help you make better informed decisions when choosing assembly lubes and lubricants. First, do you need engine assembly lubes at all? As a physicist-motorhead who has built and destroyed his share of engines, I think so.

If you’re looking for an engine assembly lube that will get the job done right, COMP Cams Cam & Lifter Installation Lube is a great option. Additionally, assembly lube is typically made from oil-based products like petroleum or synthetic oils. Grease, on the other hand, is usually made from a combination of soap and oil. That’s another key feature we kept in mind when formulating AMSOIL Assembly Lube. Not only does it stay in place and protect components, it dissolves readily in the motor oil to promote good oil flow throughout the engine. It’s designed to excel in all three performance areas.
