I used the permatex EAL for my most recent build, it worked perfectly fine, i think my only complaint with it was just how quickly it begins to "melt" its comes out quite thick but assembling an engine in a warm garage it quickly began to melt away from what i put it on, this isn't a huge deal as once you have the lube in a journal it can't really go anywhere.

My question is, are other lubes thicker more resistant to melting quickly?

It has been almost 3 days and they are still staying on the white board, even in these warm temperatures. I used some of the most popular assembly lubes.

#1 was the Lucas Oil Semi-Synthetic Assembly Lube (You can get this at most auto part stores).

#2 was the Torco MPZ (Molybdenum, Phosphate and Zinc) Assembly Lube (It held its own pretty well)

#3 was the Torco MPZ HP Assembly Lube (This stuff worked great. It's thick like jelly and especially hard to get off the white board).

#4 is the Stabil Engine Assembly Lube (Again, you can buy this lube in huge containers for cheap at any parts store. The stuff works well, too.)

#5 was the Royal Purple Synthetic Assembly Lube (This was actually the looser of the 5, but was the best for coverage and adhesion. It was sure a bare to get this stuff off the white board)

All-in-all, the best I used was the Torco MPZ HP. The most expensive out of the 5 assembly lubes I did. About $25 for a 5 oz. tube of it. Largest size they have.

If you don't work on engines all the time or you're just building one, I would definitely go for the Torco MPZ HP assembly lube. Of course, everybody has there favorite assembly lubes.

They were all great assembly lubes and all worked well. Temperatures in the 70's and they held up pretty well I would say.

I hope this will help someone and thanks for looking!
