no no no, use a grease compatible with oil. They probably used a break in grease similar to assembly lube. Since it's intact and not contaminated, don't use anything else. On the outside lip you can use motor oil, make sure your hands are clean.

When I installed my rear main onto the housing I smeared a very light coating engine oil with my finger around the edge, the purpose is to prevent the seal from tearing when you press it into the metal housing. The grease on the inner side is for instillation and initial lubrication. As long as it i...

I'm not saying they are bad engines, but they are oudated. The VK56 in particular is an amazing motor and absolutely destroys the competition in CORR. Unfortunately, the trend these days is to get great performance with good gas mileage. e.g. I've had several people ask me about new cars they should...

I'll believe it when I see it, Nissan has always tried to make some hubbub about a 240sx successor, but they never get around to it. Which is sad, since they no longer have any sporty cars like the Z of old. All of Nissan's engines with the exception of the new MR16 mentioned in the article are horr...

I have the CC white bunny kit, and there was no need to trim the dust plate that is between the engine and trans.
