And another about engine break-in...
Great videos. Thanks for posting.
I didn’t see any petroleum jelly used inside the oil pump.
As other people swear it’s mandatory to use......

Good point. I'm sure it works well and breaks down easly in the pol. The white Lubriplaqte assembly lube is what I have used. I would imagine it would play well with motor oil too. Anything that shouldn't be used?
Not mandatory if using a pressurized system like that. Have done more than a few gen 3's that way. Hit the key, instant oil pressure.
Lubriplate is good, IF, The engine is going to be installed shortly after it is applied. I built a motor once and I used Lubriplate like I always have in the past. Well the guy I built it for didn't install it right away and it sat for over a year in his house. After a period of time it turns to glue. Couldn't turn it over at all. Tore it down and found it had turned to a tacky glue like substance. I don't use it any more.
Good to know.
I have never ever over the 30+ years used anything inside of an oil pump to “Help it get primed.” Because it simply is t needed.
I don’t give a crap about how well anybody thinks how anything they use to falsely help the oil pump will break down and play nice with fresh oil on a fresh rebuild.
It’s just plane stupid in my book as well as a waste of time. To me, it’s just oil contamination.

So it's your way or it's wrong? At 64 I can say I have built as many engines if not more than you have. That is just a asinine statement.

Dear Roy;
Don’t be a used *** wipe and put words into my mouth.
Presently, if that’s the way you think I am, please go fornicate yourself. Then come back and re read what I said and then know it was you who made the asinine statement through assuming. Then you show your own hypocrisy via not only the assumption but also with your childish chest beating of what you have done which makes no sense what so ever.
Sure you could have built twice as many engines as myself, at s, even 10X’s the amount, which no leads my thinking as to why you d. See to build so many engines. Perhaps, you can’t get it right and have to do it over and over again.
(See! I can assume and make **** up as well. Did you want to start a pissing contest? WTF?)
It’s not a “My way or its wrong” for the world but it is for since I know it works. You go do what ever it is you do to insure your engines success. Shake a Voo-Doo doll over it, throw salt over your shoulder, say 10 full rosaries.
What ever man, what ever....
Thank you!
There is no other way to take your post(s) than the way they read. Childish eh?
Open up your mind buddy. Your injecting a certain feeling, tone & attitude that is just simply not there in the post you quoted me on. What you read is how I feel about petro/jelly for a helper on a oil pump.
I have never used it, never will use it. For me, it is a waste of time and wrong.
IF YOU need to do this, the first thing I question is, WTF is wrong with the oil pump!

I wanted to get this in earlier. I never seen a cam sprayed with anything like that guy used. Very interesting.
Guess you should research what you THINK is the truth.
I’m not even going to open that up.
I know what has always worked flawlessly for me.
Just because you can dig up some article doesn’t make it true. Hell! I’ll write up something totally stupid and have 10 fake names proclaiming this as better than butter and honey on toast! But it doesn’t make it true or factual. It is now just out there for the next dumb bunny to copy and paste so they can proclaim that of which they read the truth and best way.
I know what the truth is and it’s your current ridiculous antics.
Step away from the computer Roy,,, just step away and get some rest. I’ll give ya a big (non homo) hug in the morning.
Sleep well!

No dog in any fight, but, damn. You'd think it was middle of winter! Everyone needing to get out of the house n ****!!
I guess what they say is true. Ignorance is bliss. It's a factual sheet about engine assembly lube, Lubriplate 105 white grease and how it is compatible and dissolves harmlessly in oil. I'm sure you did read it but don't want to admit your wrong. Reminds me of what my Dad use to tell me.

Like,,, never wrestle with a pig, the pig enjoys it and you both get dirty.
Seriously, did t read it. Won’t ether.
And that’s exactly why I stopped arguing with you.
You have won! Darn near beat me to death ya did.
All those engines you have built and such...
Go! Enjoy your victory! You have earned it!
Now, get yourself in bed. Sleep well.
OK, curiosity got me so a move to the main computer was done and I read it.
It has nothing to do with what I was saying.
Your an idiot Roy, a true idiot.
This was in reply to you agreeing with Krooser in post 12. when he said "white grease does not mix with modern oil." You replied
"Thank You!" How does the article on Lubriplate 105 not related? So now you resort to name calling? I guess you really have conceded the argument? Now I wasn't going to reply anymore, but you just can't let it go.

Let me tell you what I do...I've built all my engines using a mixture of white lithium grease and STP, applied to my main and rod bearing inserts and cam bearings, push rod tips, rocker arms and shafts and piston pins. I use a mixture of black moly and STP on my cam lobes and lifters. Oil only on the pistons, rings and cylinders. I also "set the grain" of my bearing inserts with Scotch-Brite. I use a pressure pot to pre-oil my engines. After a few break in runs, I drain the oil, remove and cut the filter. New oil, new filter...Go! As said in an earlier post...Don't let it sit! Get it running ASAP. I've had very good success. Now! I'm open to opinions.

It doesn't mix very well with oil. It will mix with it, but it's just not like it is homogenous like I like it to be. You find it in the bottom of the pan.
That's why I stopped using non oil soluble moly for cams. It all ends up in the pan. And it makes the oil look dirty. I use cam lube that is oil soluble.
