Ok I did some moor checking looks like it's called top lube, do I get it where I buy the alky from or is it added by them when I buy it?

I've used many different brands and feel the Klotz Uplon is by far the best. One bottle will treat 2 55gal drums. Keeps your pumps, fuel lines, etc. lubricated and somewhat protected from the alky. Less prone to corrode. I get mine from Comet kart sales
Some vendors sell alky with or without lube so you need to verify. I prefer without so I can add my own.

I really like Manhattan oil's power plus...I have used and sold it for years

Your valve guides and several other components will really thank you for using a lube..

And as mentioned above Klots is reall good also.
