Once the initial fuel, ignition and valvetrain adjustments have been made and initial dyno pulls completed, shut the engine off, drain the break-in oil, and remove and inspect the oil filter for any signs of trouble (such as metallic debris that indicates unusual wear is occurring). With Lucas High Performance Assembly Lube, technicians and engineers can pre-lubricate bearings, camshaft, lifters, and valve train components.

It’s applied before any other lubricant to keep the parts smooth and lubricated until any other lubricant is used.

Many people say a conventional mineral-based SAE 30 motor oil that contains extra extreme pressure additive (ZDDP and/or moly) and little or no friction modifiers is best for engine break-in. Additionally, assembly lube is typically made from oil-based products like petroleum or synthetic oils. Grease, on the other hand, is usually made from a combination of soap and oil. This lube blends easily with the engine oil. This is why after the engine started up there was no clogging problem. The engine sound was quite satisfying.

Some assembly lubes seems like tar to me. Those can’t be washed off easily, which is irritating. But this one gave me a sigh of relief. These are washable. You can wash them easily with soap and a regular amount of water. Even if you have them on your clothes, you can remove them without worries. Protects Internal Parts: If you are looking for the best camshaft assembly lube that will provide superior protection and performance, then the COMP Cams 152 Cam and Lifter Installation Lube and Permatex Ultra Assembly Lube is the perfect choice. Hence, in my opinion, for lubricating, a brand new or rebuilt engine assembly lubes are far better than oil. How do you lube a cylinder? Many late model engines are factory-filled with multi-viscosity 5W-20, 5W-30 or even 0W-40 synthetic or synthetic-blend oil from the start, and may not specify the first oil change for several thousand miles. Most people prefer using a conventional oil for the initial break-in, and then use a conventional oil for the next 1500 to 5000 miles before switching to a synthetic if they want to use a synthetic oil.That’s great for everyday driving, improving fuel economy and increasing horsepower, but for engine break-in some say the less friction modifier in the oil, the better. Others counter and say that’s nonsense and that friction modifiers have little or no impact on engine break-in. This product is an easy to use, solid lubricant that would be a welcomed addition to every toolbox. The applicator allows you to precisely use as much lube as you need, and the bottle gives you plenty of product for many installs to come! Included Components It does surprisingly well in resisting frictions. Besides, the manufacturer added chemicals so that it can withstand extreme pressurized conditions.
