Re: engine assembly lubes & oil

[Donnie Schanz Jr <dcs426@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The best engine assembly lube I have ever used is STP oil treatment, (stands 
for Snapping Turtle Piss), but it is thick enough that it stays on your 
parts and dissapates quickly after start-up. After you know your clearance 
is correct, reinstall your rod or main cap, but first drench it with STP. 
The STP has ZDDP in it. Never an issue using it. Cheap enough that after 
assembly is done, we dump a bottle all over the cam and lifters before 
installing the intake. You drain your break-in oil after a hour or so 
anyway, so the extra STP hurts nothing. This is an old methid used back into 
the 60's easy.
