well it serves two purposes, it keeps the seals in tact while you assemble the motor, it provides further lubrication on the initial start of the motor, and as you turn the motor over by hand
as soon as it hits oil/heat, it liquifies and burns off/joins the oiling system
i will use petroleum jelly and assembly lube (assembly lube is thick and stringy/sticky, and dissolves in oil as well)

Go to Hurley's site and you'll see what I mean about "design"

i recommended solid corner seals to myself steve kan agreed
it's good practice to use them with bridges, the plugs found on OEM seals are likely to cause a problem
the downside is, they do not cushion hard blows to the apex seal and they put more wear on the side plates
