    you will need something to pre lube the engine before your first start up..thats why i started lookin around and found the insta lube

    Now, a bit curious, do you pre-fill the bottle with oil before first start? I read that it pressurizes as the engine is running, and then it will pre lube at next start. So unless there is oil and pressure in the bottle for the very first start, it wouldn't work for what we are needing right? As in pre lubing before initial start after an engine rebuild.

    Updated: Also, I've used Assembly Lube several times with great results rebuilding my 4G63 motor (1g eclipse). Redline makes one too.
