Hey Darren,
?
I would use Lubriplate 105 to assemble. Any auto parts store has it. It¡¯s what is used to assemble engines. Gives you good lubrication before the oil gets into everything it needs
to, and will hang in there if you get side tracked and leave things set for a day or month.
The Lubriplate will be absorbed with the oil after you use the saw a bit, with no detrimental effects. It¡¯s not a heavy grease, like #2 or even #1.
I use it for transmissions, and other gearboxes as well, besides just engines, and have for years.

Well, the thrust bearings came in and they are identical, as near as I can tell. I'm taking all of next week off and plan to spend a lot of that time in the garage. If the weather cooperates, I'll be painting and start the reassembling process.
Quick question. Bearing installation. Lubricate the aluminum case for installation or leave it dry? I've only installed bearings/races in engines and we used plenty of oil. I assume the same applies? Would hate to have a bearing cut into the aluminum and "cut"
a burr. (Will be using the "socket as a bearing installer" method.) Will be using mobil shc 634 as gear box fluid and intended to use it as an install lube as well.
Thanks!
Darren
