Randy,
What's your feeling (objection?) regarding the use of Red Line assembly
grease on older engines?
I was once told that Red Line grease was okay to use for brake component
assembly because it isn't petroleum based; but it's my understanding
that this grease does contain petroleum products so I only use brake
fluid when I do a brake job.
