I am working on building my Allis B engine. I've assembled engines before, but that was in high school.
Do I used assembly lube on the piston rings and cylinder walls? I can't remember if they should be dry or not.
Also, my gasket kit includes a cork seal for the flywheel end of the crankshaft. I've never worked with one of these before. Should it be soaked in oil before assembly or should it just get a light film like a rubber seal would?
Thanks for the help.
