to start off, i'm not a big "engine builder" person but, i just unwrapped the new JLP shortblock i purchased a while back and there is green sticky stuff everywhere (in some bores, underside on crank, rods, and etc.), is this something used when putting it together or what? i hadn't noticed it before on other built engines i've had.

 

nobody any idea to what this might be?

 

Did you call/contact JLP to ask them?

 

It's probably a preservative to prevent corrosion but I would call JLP to be sure.

 

i tried calling and almost crapped when i got a ring the first try only to realize they are closed on wednesdays.......i think i'm to the conclusion its assembly lube but i never knew that much was used until being informed by others

 

Like JollyGiant said its most likely an anti-corrosion susbstance.
