moran75 Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 Hi all Swapping out my fuel pump as its leaking oil (a little) and because it looks like the original...so its old..so good idea to nip any problems in the bud.. The instructions for my replacement from Airtex states that the rocker arm pad and the rocker arm cavity should be greased....does anyone actually do this? Any special type of grease or bog standard? I'm curious as my research building up to this hasnt' produced any ref to greasing.... Cheers Kev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seafoam65 Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 That is an unnecessary thing to do........never heard of anyone doing that. That being said, you could grease it if you want....it won't hurt anything I would use engine assembly lube if you are going to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloo Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 When replacing a fuel pump it is normal to smear a little grease on the fuel pump arm where it contacts the thing that does the pushing (usually a cam). Almost any grease within reach will do. Assembly lube, chassis grease, Vaseline, white lith, etc. It is a temporary measure to make sure nothing galls up before the oil gets splashing around.
