Thanks ABran, I was wondering what the heck all this was.

Well, I think I have the wrong intake manifold clamps. I will have some genuine from the dealership tomorrow. I just could not see any way they installed properly.

Did some searching, found it should be a silicone lubricant. I do have silicone grease, so I will have to check and see if that will work.

I have lithium grease, so am going to have to source some lube.

After research I am going to get some Plumber's Grease at Home Depot. They have high temp.

Vaseoline on injector o-rings, and any and all o-rings.
It's a petroleum base, harms nothing, and is perfect for lubing o-rings, preventing them from being cut or damaged.
