My Posts This: Topic Forum | No lube. We run them dry, change them every 100 flights, and they usually still look pretty good at the change. The outside ring has the imprint of the washer on it, and maybe the start of some of the rubber wearing off, which is why every 100 flights. The outside ring gets pretty ragged by 150 flights.
Also, we run two of the stock plastic washers per side. Puts a little pre-load on the rings, and helps keep everything centered in the head block.
