CRC Extreme Pressure Anti-Seize Assembly Lube 78g

CRC describes this as an extreme pressure, anti-seize engine assembly lubricant containing moly and graphite. CRC's current page calls it the Sta-Lube Engine Assembly Lube. It adheres to metal surfaces and forms a protective barrier that prevents destructive metal-to-metal contact.

CRC lists it for engine, transmission and differential assembly, covering sliding or rotating surfaces during initial start-up and break-in. CRC says it dissolves in lubricating oil during engine operation. It is a dark or grey grease and is not classified as hazardous on its safety data sheet.

Where this product is used

• Engine, transmission and differential assembly
• Camshaft bearings and lobes, and crankshafts
• Engine bearings, gears, lifters, push rods and valve stems
• All areas of rotational or sliding metal-to-metal contact (CRC)
• Initial start-up and break-in after a rebuild

Features

• Extreme pressure, anti-seize formulation containing moly and graphite (CRC)
• Adheres to metal surfaces to prevent destructive metal-to-metal contact
• Protects engines during the first few seconds of start-up after a rebuild (CRC)
• Dissolves in lubricating oil during engine operation (CRC)
