Pineapple Racing sleeves and metal gasket
Before I put in those 2 sleeves, should I prelube them with mobil synthetic oil? I figure since that part of the motor doesn't burn oil, that I should at least make them rotate easier with a bit of oil. Second question is should I use any type of gasket sealer for the lower intake metal gasket. I know it wasn't needed for the old cardboard style gasket.

just a guess...
i'm guessing that you wouldn't want to put oil in there. i'm thinking that the oil would collect dirt and grime and eventually make it harder to turn the sleeves. i could be wrong of course.
i'd ask rob at pineapple racing for the definate answer, he's very good at answering emails within a day.

Oil will eventually collect with carbon- and sieze.
Use dry graphite powder lube
Eventually, backfires will deposit oil and carbon in the sleeve anyways though.
