cam lube

[enjenjo]

Boy, have times changed. I assembled a flat tappet 351W this week. I needed some Moly cam assembly lube, and no one in town had any in stock. I ended up ordering it from Summit. Now granted this is the first flat tappet engine I have done in a while, but I really didn't think it would be that hard to find.

Ive heard that GM engine oil supplement is a good product to assist In cam break in as well . Supposedly has a bunch of zinc in it .

as I recall the GM  EOS stuff was about phased out some yrs ago (20+)   and then it came back.  Higher price too.  LOL

I use a product ZDDPlus I buy off eBay.  I add it some of my older engines with regular dyno oil.

The moly paste stuff for camshafts ,  I order it from SUmmit too. Keep it on hand.  I had a tube so long it dried out some what. LOL

I too have a monster tube of it that I keep "in stock" . I use it for a lot of things that I assemble to avoid a dry "Start-Up" ..  

I am still using the "Economy sized" tube of distributor point Lube that I bought in 1968 or so... :oops:

Funny how time goes by .....
