Default Prothane MMIs

I'm finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel with my cam swap.

I'm doing Prothane MMIs and have a quick q. Do people that have done them grease the inserts b4 placing them in the clam shell and bolting them up? The reason I ask is I greased the one I have finished and installed and it seems as if maybe it shifted on the top side (4 rectangles) after I got the thru bolt in and torqued. Maybe I'm paranoid, but here I am asking if anyone else has done it this way and did you have any issues as a result?
Not so quick of a q, sorry...

I don't see any reason to grease them.

Won't hurt to grease them. If they are installed right they can't slide anywhere, they are sandwiched way too tight in the clamshell.

I couldn't leave it like that. It would've been 1 greased and 1 not. Took it out disassembled cleaned and put back in. Yeah, quick to type that but what a PITA job that is. I did notice the tranny bushing is shot too, that can wait.
And yes 04...a4, they are in that clam shell tight!
