Hyd Flat Tappet Cam Break-In Lube - which one?
Getting ready to fire up a new engine on the dyno which has a hyd flat tappet cam in it. Looking for input on preference for type of break-in lube to use on the cam. I have 3 products in my shop at present, always willing to consider others as well.
The 3 are: Comp Cams "Pro Cam & Lifter Lube" (a not-very-thick red liquid that came with the cam) Driven "Engine Assembly Grease" (a light-weight oil-dissolvable paste) Maxima "Assembly Grease" (a medium-thick oil-dissolvable paste) To put my concern out there, I initially used the Comp lube to wet the cam lobes during assembly but in the course of 24 hours 99% of it has dripped into a catch pan under the engine. There may be a few molecules left on the cam, but I'm not comfortable with that. Am I over-thinking this? Engine will be fired with Driven break-in oil in the pan. |
