Assembly Lube
Used this on all moving parts for a total engine overhaul which included a reman crankshaft installation for 1999 Chevy 4.3L vortec v6 - Vin"W" engine. Nice red color show where applied! Tacky assembly lube! Pretty much stays put! Seems to mix with engine oil with great ease over the initial start up of engine. More than enough lube in this bottle to do 2 engine rebuilds... didn't even use 1/2 bottle for my project, and I really laid it on there thick! Nice product!

Good Assembly Lube, but I also Purchased Lucas Assembly Lube From Autozone and The Lucas Was Alot more Tacky, for sticking to the parts better, but we used this permatex to install the ValveTrain and it made things slid in very easy

Does exactly what you expect.
I use Ultra Slick as intended. If oil will touch the part when the engine is operating, then it gets Ultra Slick applied to the same area when I am reassembling. I have used this product for decades.

This assembly lube is amazing. Clings to every surface it's applied. Only complaint is I wish the bottle had an extended fine point applicator.
