Curil T is on the no-no list for the seals, for the exact reason Ray states.

Dow 55 is a specific sealant/lube for O-rings. Why not go with current chemical technology here. Blue o-rings are the crappy ones....green are Viton, and are the ones you should be using for their superior strength.

Putting lube on the bearings AFTER the sealant goes on does not seem like a good idea to me, with my total of 1 rebuilds. How much lube are you putting on? Everything n moderation. You're on the clock when the sealant goes on, and I cannot imagine blowing X amount of time screwing around with bearing lube after-the-fact. You run a bigger risk of slopping lube on the sealant, IMO.
