That is what I have used it for. Helps keep the O rings in place during assembly. Not strictly necessary though.

Like all applications of lube it is designed to reduce friction during assembly

It should be ok, as long as absolute minimum is used to hold the o-rings in place, and nothing more.

Otherwise you get like a compressor I did the other day which was full of powdered sealant in everything.

That tends to be from the desiccant in the air-dryer breaking down if it is white powder.

Definitely sealant its stuck all over. In the slots for O rings, between mating surfaces. You can feel the rubbery texture when it was peeled off. I changed air dryer for a brand new one 18mnths ago so would be disappointed if had started braking up by now

If it's a P38, there is a dryer for the EAS, follow the air pipe going forward from the valve block to the black canister. Should be replaced at reasonable intervals or the desiccant breaks up and contaminates the valve block.i have a 2002 vintage RR .....is there an air dryer on these or is that what you guy's call the compressor? asking for a friend
Where is your compressor?
Under the spare wheel or in the engine bay.
The L322 has the drier connected directly to the compressor (under the spare).
