I pulled my heads and will replace the tube seals was wondering if there is anything I should put on the seals besides some oil?

I've also used used Jake's method and it works well.
I spin the tube as I install and the 565 makes it slip in. I think it's when you cut the seal on install that causes a leak, the 565 may just be preventing (because it's slippy) the seal from being cut |
