IMHO, it far more important to prelube the engine so all the oil galleries are full. For a lifter to start spinning, the lifter base has to grab the cam lobe and the sides of the lifter need a good slippery oil film right away; so they act like a journal bearing with no metal-to-metal contact to resist spin. It would be a mistake to put thick clingy goop on the sides of the lifters.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
