Superjet crank seal lube?

[poopski]

Im getting ready to assemble my engine, and was wondering what to lube the crank seals with? I know on alot of automotive apps, that you use vasoline to pack the seal, so there is no dry start up? I already searched and didnt find anything out.

I put a little bit of 1211 on them.

I've done both - both ways worked fine for me.

I mean on the inside of the seal, where it touches the crank. Im prolly gonna just use some 2 stroke oil.

My manual says just plain marine grease

+1 on some good grease in the well of the seal, not much. Not oil. I put grease between the two rear seals too.
