Unless that is grease for the throttle body o-rings and needle bearings?

Throttle body o-rings and sealing up the bearings.
One of my coworkers was going to throw out the tube as the job was done.

I would buy a kit as well for my 1985/2 NA 944. Any time frame when it might be available? Thanks

Knock on wood, I might be freeing up a bit this week. Let me see if I can pull a couple basic kits together. Stay tuned.

Thanks soo much. I’ve been through every system on this build and those darn special fasteners and o rings are near impossible to find. And without them all the other work to get the system tight again won’t be the same if we can’t rebuild the TB. You will be a life saver! Thanks again!!

Update: I don't need a kit any longer as I needed a TB sooner rather than later and ordered a refurbished unit from S&P Engines in the UK. 159 british pounds, not bad.
