Moloylube & Drive Pin ??

[67Johnson6HP]

Curious as to what exactly is "Molylube"? Saw it recommended on a thread here - NAPA didn't have it. Also, the Drive Pin that goes in the top of the driveshaft on '67 & '78 OMC 6hp (have one of each) - does that just hold the gasket,spring,o-ring, or whatever together - any real pressure on it? Lost mine and wondering if I could manufacture one. Thanks.

It is grease with molybdenum in it. The roll pin holds the lower main bearing seal. There is moderate spring pressure on it. It is a vital part. Seal failure amounts to engine destruction due to water intrusion. The part number is 303261. It is a stainless steel roll pin.

IIRC engine assembly lube has molybdenum in it, and auto parts stores should have that. I bought some at autozone or whatever.
