This past summer I broke in a Mellling 068 with Crower lifters. I used the Driven GP-1 assembly gel . This stuff was unbelievable. Stays where you put it and never drips off like other brands. As a test I coated a lobe on a used cam I have in the basement and left it that way for months. Eventually I wiped off the lobe and put the cam back in storage. Absolutely nothing dripped off. Broke the cam in with 1.65 rockers and inner springs removed. Used Penn Grade 30 wt break in oil and a bottle of GM EOS. Break in went perfect and I have since put about 500 miles on the motor.

The Torco stuff is kind of a gel, but almost all have some type of 'carrier' which has no impact on the properties of the lube.

The newer stuff sticks like anything in the past comes even close to. It's that much better. You don't have to glob it on, a very thin coat and done. That's why it comes in smaller amount packaging.

Moly can dry up, and it doesn't embed as well as the newer stuff. I can 'wipe off' easily.

The newer survives much longer during startups, as well as while turning the engine over by hand when adjusting rockers for first time.

Use specifically design engine assembly lube and don't look back. It's that easy.

Again .. You can lead a horse to water... Goes on like paint dries doesnt fall off with a little oil splash ... i even coated my pistons, bottom of the cylinders under ring travel fogged where rings ride coated all cam lobes, main,rod,cam bearings, hit lifter bores with 842

I was actuall very suprized with no smoke at all at first run no detectable blowby with PCV plugged

Used 842 in another 2 engines nothing negative to report they are still together

2 to 3 engines one can

When I worked in maintenance we used cases of this stuff. High load areas to be specific. Did you use this on the cam and lifters as well?

Many ways to skin a cat so thanks for sharing Formula.

I am also fan of Driven products. Last 2 HFT cam swaps I did I used the Driven assembly grease product.
