spurdy Posted September 27, 2009 Report Share Posted September 27, 2009 i want to know what do use when you install your pistons into the cylinder do you use just oil or do you use like the bel ray assembly lube or what need help. I like assembly lube, however I've used 2 stroke oil and moly grease. Moly grease smokes like a bitch but I didn't have anytnhing else at the time. Motor held just fine for the 3 years I ran it.

jbooker82 Posted September 27, 2009 Report Share Posted September 27, 2009 I would use 2 stroke oil. Grease or assembly lube will burn and carbon up. Even on full size engines, builders use engine oil to lube the cylinders and pistons, they use assembly lube on the bearings, crank, cam, lifters, rockers ect. They use it were oil will take it away after the engine is started. With a 2 stroke there is no pressureized oil system that will take the assembly lube away. josh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might make a little mess of things but then I know all things are coated and starting to work into the metal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toomey Banshee Posted September 27, 2009 Report Share Posted September 27, 2009 Just use whatever you use to mix with your gas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
