detroit used antifreeze for lube on their 92 series,, i never liked it.
liquid dish soap is slippery as heck,, works well
my favorite is tire soap, the thick stuff they mount truck tires with,,, very slick, no rolled o rings, and it won't attack the rubber.
there is also a silicone based lube that oring manufactures recommend for pneumatics and hydraulic's it works well.
i would not recommend motor oil, although one could use it, and likely be ok,,, some orings swell a bit with it though, so you wanna lube it and install fairly quickly.
my favorite is tire soap though
just smear it on the o rings and the iron where they will slide in, and give the liner a partial twist as you press in by hand.
don't use gloves or anything that might get pinched between the liner and the bore, and keep the lip and counter bore very clean.
bout a 1/4 twist with steady and firm pressure the liner should drop in, and if it is not quite down, press it down with standoff pipes and washers over the studs to hold it down. usually if held down till you are ready to move on to piston installation it will stay down.
alternatively we use a dead blow hammer, (shot filled hard rubber) to thump it down.
finish off by cleaning the cylinder bore with clean white paper towels and oil till they come out golden, with no signs of gray or any thing else that looks like dirt. i keep beating this clean drum, because you would be surprised how many diesel techs skip this step in shops.
do not use carb cleaners, brake cleaners or any other spray cleaners on the cylinder bores, they look like they work well, but in reality they remove the oil just fine but leave micro dirt trapped in the crosshatch. which in turn becomes a very fine lapping compound!
