T3: Re: VW Cylinder Paste?

["Steven W. Janninck" <SJannick@ix.netcom.com>]

Allen,
I am an aircraft mechanic by trade, and when ever we assemble any type of
hydraulic component, we use what is very similar to an assembly lube. Its
name is PARKER O-Lube. This stuff is very slimey and it adheres to seals
and orings to prevent leaks and extend life. If your interested I will try
to find you a vendor you can buy it from on the street.
Good Luck Steve 71 Notch
