Do not use cam lubre on these motors, that stuff is made for flat tappets which have to break in and mate to their lobes. Roller cams require no such thing. Just use some motor oil and you will be fine. If going to be a prolonged time before startup assembly lube would be OK too but NOT cam lube.

I'd recommend using cam or assembly lube with a new cam and especially new lifters. If not, most say that a heavy weight oil will suffice. I would pour it directly into the lifter valley and drain it right before you start it. Then pour the regular oil directly into both heads to lubricate the valvetrain. Make sure you look up proper break in technique as well.

Lucas is a very thick petroleum based formula, so it could work. I'd use assembly lube before I'd use Lucas.

Its called Engine Assembly Lube, its close by the RTV Silicones, adhesives, etc. I don't remember the price though.
