<VV> Front crank seal

[Jim McLott]

Nah, Chuck, I don't regret asking the list one bit.  I think you summarized the responses nicely and those responses told me just what I needed to know.  Most importantly, I did NOT get a response telling me to avoid using product XYZ.  Knowing what not to do is just as important as knowing what to do.

Now for my next question.  What paint do people on the list use when painting the engine compartment of a USA-built late model?  I've got notes about what to use when painting the shrouds (Krylon 1613 semi-flat, Plasti-Cote #215 low gloss engine enamel, Plasti-Cote "Classic #344" flat black lacquer, Dupli-Color 91634 Low Gloss Black) and am wondering if any of them would look good in the engine compartment.

As always, TIA

  Well I guess by now you have regretted asking the list :-) All the answers are valid,
  even Dennis since motor oil is technically a high temp lubricant, and any of them will 
  do the job. Basically something that adheres long enough for you to have ease of assembly
  will do the trick but a grease is probably less messy and longer lasting.
