i assembled an engine with this wierd grease that instead of lubricating things it made things stick, and all my apex seals or some **** got stuck and i blew it up while i was cranking





the name on the tube of grease was "JB WELD"















so i guess if it makes **** stick, it wouldnt really be GREASE now would it?



haha just keeping my bs out of the thread i saw

also for whatever reason the motor was hard cranking, i know the coolant is full i checked the dipstick and everything

Did you flush the brake lines and check the headlight flipping mechanism and top off the oil in the throttle body and UIM?

I see this all the time. You guys just fail to realise how import it is to change the air in your tires.

In addition to that the fact that you didnt use Marine Tex for seal holding could also be a problem.
