About this deal

Fueler racers use very heavy oil (60 or 70 grade), grease, or a newly developed gel on their engine components, because they just don’t have sufficient time between engine rebuilds in the pits. Besides, those hand-held starters deliver a lot more torque than smaller, gear-reduction starters. However, it is important to use the correct type of lubricant that is recommended by the engine manufacturer to avoid any compatibility issues. But as a general-purpose user, I found the results quite satisfactory. This is a liquid lubricant that comes in a well-built bottle.

Use a clean, lint-free cloth or brush to apply the grease, and avoid getting it on any other parts. Some say synthetic oils are “too slippery” for use as a break-in oil while others say using a high quality synthetic oil for the initial break-in is a waste of money because the oil will be drained within a few hours or few hundred miles once the initial break-in process is finished. FYI, I am used to highly viscous lubricants. This is why it seemed a little runny in my hands. But don’t worry about that. I didn’t find it dripping off from the engine. 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.

If you are rebuilding your engine, or even if you are just changing your camshaft, you will need to use an assembly lube. It is not intended to be a long-term lubricant and should be replaced with the appropriate engine oil as soon as possible. First and foremost is cleaning everything thoroughly BEFORE it goes into an engine. That includes brand new parts out of the box as well as machined and reconditioned parts. Some people will complete the initial break-in process with break-in oil, drain it and use conventional mineral-based oil for the next 50 to 500 miles. Consequently, it should make no difference if a conventional oil or synthetic oil is used for the initial break-in. The deciding factor would be the cost of the oil itself.

Lucas Assembly Lube protects surfaces that must be assembled, reduces friction, and prevents seizing, galling, and scuffing. You can’t expect a perfect engine build without using engine assembly lubes. But there are parts that make it hard for the lube to reach. Some parts won’t hold the oil for long.

About Klarna

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. These are also resistant to oil breakdown and have excellent anti-wear properties. Overall, the Camshaft Assembly Lube is an outstanding product that will keep your engine running like new.
