What to use? I am installing the hot cam kit. What do i need to use of the can when i install it, also what do i need to put on to the lifters, and springs. Is there some oil or lube so there is no premature wear? Thanks

I use assembly lube when i install cams. then i soak the lifters in oil qhile i am working or at least over night. you dont necessarly have to do it that long but i do it just for peace of mind. Springs i dont do anything except heat cycle them once there in but that is reccomended for break in anyhow.

I soak the lifters in oil as well to get all the air out...use assembly lube on the roller rockers and cam..and pour lots of oil over the valvetrain just before you start the motor...make sure you prime the oil system as well before cranking it
