Default What assembly lube to use

Well, the Belray assembly lube says "contains molylube solids". I couldn't find a bottle of Motorsports lube (you've gotta love friends that come over and help themselves). I did find a bottle of Comp Cams lube, which is a lot like the Motorsports, and it didn't say.

The Comp Cams and Motorsports are thick liquid, whereas the Belray is a silver/gray solid like the color and consistancy of Anti-seize. The Belray goes on with a supplied brush.

I have seen engines built with the Motorsports see RPM's nearing 10,000 and never flatten a solid lift cam. The Belray says it can be used on turbo bushings, some of which reach 60,000+.

Sorry I couldn't help more.

I did the same search a while back when I was installing my cam. The local dealers did not have anything that did not contain Moly. I went to Autozone and looked at there stuff. The one I purchased did not say it did not contain and moly but it did not list it in the ingrediants.

Its called Coastal Engine Assembly lube.

Reccomended for gears, bearings, cranckshafts, valve stems, camshafts, push rods, and all moving metal to metal contact points.

It mixes in with the oil after assembly and start up. I reccomend you drain change the oil after an hour of engine run time to clean out the system of the assembly lube etc.

I had no problems with clutch slippage from useing this product.

Thanks a lot. The Coastal is the one I got yesterday at AutoZone too.

I now feel safe using this. Thanks for the info.

What about graphite? Good, bad, doesn't matter? The stuff I bought yesterday has it in there. I hope it doesn't hurt.
