We should let Greg answer, but when I reassemble an engine using existing
cam and lifters I use a thin coating of cam lube and pump oil all over it.
I've used the stuff in the little yellow tub that Ken G. sends out with
his
camshafts and also bought the CompCam cam oil for this purpose. Then I just
worry about oil pressure prior to startup, then seating the rings.
Greg noted how he does not use Moly paste on bearings. I think this is a
worthy thread on it's own. I have the Redline white assembly lube, the moly
paste, and a couple of brands of the sticky red goo that I use differently
depending on the situation. I think I have been using them incorrectly and
I'd like to learn what is correct. Fot example, I use the red goo for
bearings on new engines but when I replace bearing in situ I have been
using
the moly paste because it doesn't run all over the place.
