SUBJECT: Needle bearing assembly grease, part #378642
Figure 1 illustrates the 4-ounce tube of the subject grease required to assemble loose needle bearings in connecting rods and similar applications. It is specifically compounded to hold these needles in place and thus simplify their installation. It will consequently reduce your labor costs by eliminating dropped or lost needle bearings. Since it is readily soluble in gasoline, it is easily diluted and washed away within a short time after the engine is again in operation, thereby eliminating the possibility of bearing failure due to the presence of grease having poor lubricating qualities.
Also illustrated is the manner in which the grease should be used. The amount required for one engine is very small, so a tube will last for many applications.
The price is $.60 net per tube, postage prepaid, (Illinois resident dealers add 4% state sales tax). The part number of the grease is 378642. It is not available from any source other than:
