cam lube
I'm going to install a solid flat tappet cam. It will probably be a few weeks from the time I install it until I can fire it up for break-in.
What should I use on the lobes and lifters that won't run off in a few weeks time? The 'red' comp lube is kinda runny. How about a 'moly' grease? I will also be using Brad Penn 30w break-in oil,with zinc. |

I put on some of the green Sealed Power assembly lube about three weeks ago ... the upside of the lobes are now actually dry. Not just without a layer of lube... they are visibly dry.
Granted this is not cam lube .... I have some CC lube now, and some of that ultra high pressure grease too ...forget what it's called .... something like CM-3. Might try that. My engine will be probably sitting for a year before startup. |

Thanks Cliff ... you made up my mind for me .... and I think I have a tube of that right on my tractor parts shelf.
Surely a good high pressure moly grease is as good for the first 2 minutes of running as any other fancy lube. After that, it's all about the oil anyway. And yep, I have no doubt that stuff would still be there a year later. |

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.
