I am having my engine rebuilt by rob at pineapple and I am cleaning out my LIM.
after a little clean up I'm ready to put it back together. I have the upper and lower port actuators and assembly off and I can see a little clear lubricant residue at the far end of each port in the hole from where the port baffle pivots from.

Should I be replacing the lubricant upon reassembly and if so what kind of lube???

Silicone base? High temp? Any info if helpful since the guys at the parts store gave me engine assembly lube. I read the back and it says it thins out during initial operation and mixes with the oil and this is not what I'm looking for correct?

Its lithium grease, you could add more depending on how much is still on the port ( I assume you are meaning the VDI and SSV valves) also its a good idea to put a tiny bit of oil on the APV ports to help them slide into the housings and prevent them from sticking open or closed in the future.
