[QUOTE="p238shooter, post: 3936840, member: 24583"] In the olden days, smeared the camshaft bearings and lobes with a light coat of moly grease, STP (because it was supposed to have a lot of moly in it) was used for assembly lube on rods and mains. Have everything set right and fire it up watching the oil pressure gauge which should come up in a couple seconds. Let idle a while checking for leaks, using a timing light, etc. Then don't over rev nor lug the engine, just drive kinda like a normal driver for the first 100 miles or so at varying speeds and various mild loading. That worked well for every day drivers. Nitro Funny car I worked on, used Moly grease on everything for assembly, 3-4 min idle in the pits and tow to the line. When it was lit up, line up and step on the loud peddle. Ha Ha Interesting video on opinions of newer stuff. Thanks for posting [/QUOTE]
