And score brownie points cause the partner no longer needs to worry about taking the daily medication.Vasoline can still be used if need be, but KY gel does a better job. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doing a turbo swap for one that ran out of lube and bearings and thought I would try something a little different and bought a Mambatek gtx 35/82r for the oldtest mule and see how it goes. It came with the flange gasket in the kit hence the questions about them but everyone else seems to have other things on their mind like lube ect, Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
