..............Is it optional to use a little grease before you impregnate a cork?

what...? what about a ton of blue silicone?
(just kidding... i lurk a bit but i have put my time in with a master 30-40 yr v-w mechanic, so blue silicone is a known evil, we had so many motors come in that seemed to be held together by that stuff...as well as having the oil galleys blocked with it!)
just caught my eye- my oldest daughter will be 13 this summer... so i only have about 2.5 years to find a decent bug and fix it up for the first car... so i found you all and read religiously..
my best to all and keep on buggin'-bussin'-squarebackin'-ghia'in-etc....

That's what I've done since I bought my bug too. I was just wondering if there were any other opinions.
