When reinstalling Heat Exchangers and After-coolers, is it recommended to use any kind of lubricant or adhesive like stuff to facilitate sliding the hoses on? Can I spray the inside of the hose ends with silicone? Just curious what others have done.
Thanks,

I use Rectolseal 5 ... same as what is used in the aftercooler mtce. Read it somewhere that it can be used. It does make it easier to get the hoses on/off and over the past couple yrs I've had no problems. I need to get the intake hoses off/on at the strainers for winterization - it has helped.I sometimes use a bit of silicone grease
