Lubes

I am finally putting together my 532 ci. Do you guys have any suggestions about what types of assembly lubricants I should use?

I am thinking about COMP's products...

Something slippery with really good film strength which doesn't run-off.
There are a lot of products which fit the bill ... I use Torco MPZ.

Johnson engine assembly lube, available at Autozone.

What Randy said, but I remember back in the day when EVERYONE thought sTp was the shits. And actually it was,and I never had any problems w/it.

after I broke my engine in I use Mobil-1 full synthetic 10-40 no need for 50 weight with a Jomar oil filter

EPW engine assembly lube and also engine break in oil. great products although not availible at your local auto bone....

X2 that all my Dad ever used and I have used the STP many time with no problems but the oil these days don't have the zinc in it like back in the day did.

Oil......I'd assume one would prime the engine before start up.

Yup I prime mine on the engine stand then again when I get it installed before I put the dizzy in.
