Dick;
I use the assembly lube supplied by the cam manufacturer (Crane, Crower,
etc) but I think it is basically high quality oil with a high percentage
of zinc dithiophosphate added to reduce scuffing.
In press- fit applications such as crank damper installation I use
molybdenum disulphide paste.

Subject: Engine Assembly Lube
Through the years I've seen guys use all kinds of stuff for engine
assembly lube, each claiming that theirs was the world's best kept
secret. I've seen axle grease, STP, 90 wt gear oil, purple wheel
bearing grease, vasoline, etc used. I even knew one guy who used
special engine assembly lube from the NAPA store. What about it?
