No such thing as a gear type impeller pump.

It's a "positive displacement gear pump".

I have packed (with a REASONABLE quantity) of vaseline or auto tranny assembly lube EVERY oil pump for EVERY one of DOZENS of engines I've assembled over the years, with nothing but GOOD luck with the pumps priming quickly. Same thing with automatic tranny pumps.

I have started rebuilt engines even in COOL weather, with NO problems. I don't know where the original poster is, but, surely, the temperature is in the 80 to 90 degree range (or HOTTER) at this time of the year, and the vaseline will be pretty thin at these summer temps, and CERTAINLY not "hurt" anything!
