Does anyone have definitive guidelines for:
- a list of o-ring and seal materials and which lubrication to use with each?
- how to determine o-ring and seal material? (or a list of typical materials for common o-rings and seals on our cars)
I got a packet of red grease with a brake master cylinder rebuild kit, and it warns if you use anything else it'll attack the seal. But it doesn't say what type of grease it is. Now I'm rebuilding carburetors and wondering what type of lubrication to use on the o-ring sealing the jet housing to the fuel bowl (the brass plug that goes into the bottom of the bowl).
If we can get some input going I'll summarize everything in a list at the top of this post.
Thanks for helping me sort this out!
