cam break-in lube?? im about to throw different cam in my car and i can't remember what break-in lube i used last time. today i bought STA-LUBE moly-graphite engine assembly lube. will this work? a couple of gm techs said they use this on lifters and cams for 5.3 trucks. the cam brand is comp cam. thanks
I used plain old Mobil 1 5W-30. Our cams our hydraulic roller so no break in is neccesary. Unless your talking about assembly lube, thats different. Still, I just soaked it in oil and put it in.
no need for any special break-in lube for a roller style cam. Just put fresh engine oil on the cam before you slide it in. You only need cam break-in lube for flat tappet style cams
Yeah no break in oil, now break in lube only if you want to use it no reason to, same here Mobile 1 5W-30
