Hello everyone. I was reading through my Factory Service Manual (FSM) - and trying to compile a complete list of sealants and lubricants that I will need for engine reassembly. This is not complete engine reassembly, but the parts of the reassembly that require a sealant or lube. I wanted to compile my findings in this thread to see if my understanding is correct, if the equivalent sealants/lubricants to the Ford numbers are correct, and to find out the missing equivalents, and if I'm missing/forgetting anything else. Hopefully I'll have the answers within the 30 day limit so that I can edit this post with all of the information. Please take a look! Thanks

Sealants and Lubrication are listed in likely order of reassembly.

So what do ya'll think? Can you fill in the gaps where I don't have an "off-the-shelf" equivalent? Are the other equivalents correct? What am I forgetting about? Thanks a lot!

 

Awesome info! Bump!

 

I edited my original post because I forgot to include a couple items for the front cover (polyethylene grease).

I'm still looking for input regarding equivalents. Can anyone chime in on what products they use? Thanks!

 

I enjoyed this post. I think this should be a sticky in the tech/reference section for those who may be assembling an engine without the benefit of a manual.

 

For the graphite lubricant, you could use standard anti seize. For the poly grease, i normally use blue chassis grease or sil glide for light oil seal lubricant. I couldn't agree more with this being a sticky.
