Bearing Assembly lube
Hey Everyone.
Ive been reading up on how to lube my bearings when building my engine as i will be doing so in the next couple weeks.
Most places use a SAE 30 oil. I can use this, but i thought maybe if i use some Assembly lubricant id be better off?
Im looking to know for the bearing faces (Rods & Mains) and to go on the cam journals.
Thanks!
Sheldon

I use STP oil treatment for my crank and rod install's, its nice and thick. I just completed my first "LS" build, which is a 6.0 liter truck motor. I had trouble priming the oil system, until I did some research here and jacked the back of my car up to submerge the oil pump. I did a lot of cranking on my motor before I build up some oild pressure, and had no problems. I did however use assembly lube for the cam, which was the Comp Cam brand lube. Good luck!!
