Flat cam lobe, what cam now

A couple of questions.

What lube did you use on the cam and how long did you crank on it before it actually started?

There is some stuff sold as cam lube by Sta-Lube that I use for anything but cams.

And I've seen people not have enough timing on start up so they would crank on it too much. Also seen a few guys use the starter to build oil pressure before starting. That's always a disaster. Or using the starter to fill th fuel bowls.
