Question to GaWajn...
What do you spray on oil seal and gasket ?
GaWajn
In these pictures ... it is fogging oil. I just like to get the gaskets a little wet. I don't think it is really needed. It is just a tip that from a guy that used to rebuild a lot on engines, from back in the day. Any kind of oil would work I guess ... 3 in 1 ... two stroke ... WD-40 ...
A little oil on the seals help them to slide in place. That also might not be needed ... it is just something that I picked up ... somewhere along the way. I once got a little tear in a seal while trying to put them in dry so I thought that a little oil for the installation might help.

I always use brake cleaner or carb cleaner on my seals. It makes the rubber very slippery to the point where you can almost push them all the way by hand
