Thanks, Coach Mike
Coach Mike,

You need to put the grease on before you slide them on.

If your pipes have too much clearance, they will not seal no matter what you put on them.

If your primaries are 1.75 Dia. then the proper clearance will be .0265 >.0300 in. With these clearances, you will not need a sealer just as rblong states.
