Much like a newborn child, the first few moments of your engine's life are crucial for its long-term well-being. Don't let your hard work go to waste - use Red Line assembly lube to protect engine components during those first vital moments after initial start-up, when no lubrication is present. Red Line's special formula provides 3x more film strength than conventional assembly lubricants, and it works great as a corrosion inhibitor during those long-term engine builds that spend a lot of time in storage. Best of all, it's designed not to clog filters like many assembly lubricants have a tendency to.

Threadlocker is essential when doing any work to your car, especially prepping it for the track. Loose bolts should never happen! If you are a do-it-youselfer, or do much wrench turning, then you know about threadlocker (generically known as "locktite" or by the brand name Loctite). You also know a little goes a long way. This small bottle of Palm Labs Turbo-Lock red threadlock is perfect for that small job -- or a few small jobs! This tube has 10 mL (0.34 fluid ounces) of high-temp, high-strength threadlocker. This bottle comes with two ways to apply: with a squeeze or with the included brush. There are just too many different uses for this, and no mechanic or DIYer, should be without some in his or her toolbox.

Red or Blue threadlocker? Red is the highest strength so use it when the fastener will not be removed regularly or ever again. The Red will need a great amount of force to break free and maybe even heat. Blue is the medium strength and will break free with hand tools. Use it for fasteners that need extra locking protection but will be removed / disassmebled on a semi-regular basis.

Palm Labs Turbo-Lock Series 13-OR Features:
  • color: red/orange
  • Anaerobic Thread-locking Compound
  • permanent
  • high strength
  • high temperature resistant
  • oil resistant
  • primerless
  • acceptable up to 20mm (3/4") bolts
    Equivalent or superior to Loctite 262.

    Red Line CV-2 Grease

    Experience unparalleled performance with Red Line CV-2 Grease, expertly crafted to endure extreme temperatures and pressures found in high-performance wheel bearings and CV-joints. This premium grease surpasses both conventional and synthetic options with its exceptional high-temperature stability, superior extreme-pressure protection, and water resistance. Operating effectively in temperatures spanning from -100°F to 500°F, it offers outstanding oxidation and corrosion resistance, minimal evaporation and oil separation, and has minimal impact on rubber seals. Expect a remarkable 200% to 800% increase in bearing life due to the exceptional extreme-pressure performance and synthetic oil fluidity. Its red moly compound outshines black moly disulfide lubricants, ensuring superior lubrication.

    Red Line CV-2 Grease finds application not only in automotive settings but also in industrial environments. It excels in high-temperature alternator bearings, high-speed ball bearings, conveyor bearings, worm gear drives, servo mechanisms, and other scenarios prone to fretting wear and corrosion. Its consistency and extreme-pressure performance endure high-temperature and high-shear conditions, extending the performance life of lubricated components. Despite darkening after high-temperature use, its efficacy remains unaffected. While compatible with some petroleum-based greases, it's recommended to clean out old grease thoroughly for optimal lubrication performance and to avoid grease incompatibility.

    Product features:

    • Outperforms conventional or synthetic greases and lubes
    • Endures extreme temperatures and pressures in various automotive components
    • Excellent high-temperature stability, extreme-pressure protection, and water resistance
    • Operates within temperatures ranging from -100°F to 500°F
    • Resistant to oxidation and corrosion, with minimal evaporation and oil separation affecting rubber seals
    • Contains organic moly for chassis lubrication and high temp/high-speed industrial equipment
    • Synthetic fluidity increases bearing life up to 200%
    • Darkening after high-temp use doesn't impact performance
