greasing new fuel pump
hey i'm about ready to put a new mechanical fuel pump on my 350 and have heard to grease it first. Do you guys do this and if so what kind of grease do you use. Thanks

Re: greasing new fuel pump
I have always filled the inside with bearing grease, not sure what it does or if it is needed. Something my dad told me and have just always did it.

The grease also helps hold the gasket on till you get it mounted.

Re: greasing new fuel pump
The only thing I've put grease on is the pump push rod to help hold it up inside the engine while installing the pump. Engine oil should do the lubricating that is required.

Re: greasing new fuel pump
Grease doesn't break down in engine oil. I hope you mean lubriplate or assembly lube.
