Product Information

However, thinner oils also require somewhat closer bearing clearances to maintain the oil film between the moving parts.

Many people say a conventional mineral-based SAE 30 motor oil that contains extra extreme pressure additive (ZDDP and/or moly) and little or no friction modifiers is best for engine break-in.

So far, you’ve got to know a lot about assembly lubes; what’s in the composition, why it’s necessary, what’s the mechanism and so on. But is this information enough for you to select the suitable one? Use assembly lube on all critical parts, and oil on everything else when the engine goes together. The engine should also be assembled in a clean room where there is no dust or airborne contaminants. Assembly tools also need to be clean. No, you shouldn’t. Piston rings are hollow rings that only need oil for lubrication. As the rings shouldn’t be drenched or dipped in oil, assembly lubes shouldn’t be applied to them. How long does assembly lube last? FYI, I am used to highly viscous lubricants. This is why it seemed a little runny in my hands. But don’t worry about that. I didn’t find it dripping off from the engine.

In general, assembly lube is used to help protect components during assembly and break-in, while oil is used to lubricate and protect components during operation. You can use grease instead of assembly lube but it is not recommended. Assembly lube is designed to help protect against corrosion and wear. Grease can actually cause more wear and tear on parts. Rebuilding an engine is a long and tiresome process. You can make your car feel like a brand new by rebuilding it. But it should be done by an expert engine builder.

There are a few key differences between assembly lube and grease that are important to understand. Assembly lube is a lubricant that is specifically designed for assembly purposes. COMP Cams® has been the leading manufacturer of high-performance camshafts and engine parts for more than four decades (Competition Cams).
