Lucas Oil 10152 Assembley Lube-118ml

Product Information

Don’t over-grease the parts, as excess grease can cause problems like clogging or reduced efficiency. Also, you will want to use a cam specific lube on the camshaft where the lobes intercept ride on the lifters (or whatever they are called ... the caps on top of the valves which the lobes ride on). If you don't put the cam specific lube on there, you'll run the risk of these self destructing. Here is the difference between cam lube and assembly lube on a camshaft (assembly lube on the right): The main reason behind this is that it’s an extreme pressure lube. As we all know assembly lubes have a hard time lubricating all the engine components. Some people prefer to use a SAE 30 non-detergent motor oil to break in a newly built engine. Others use a conventional 15W-40 diesel oil because it contains a higher level of ZDDP than motor oils for gasoline engines. And some just use the same motor oil they plan to use in the engine for regular use for the initial break-in, then change it after a few hours or 50 to 100 miles to get rid of the contaminants. Assembly lube contains extreme pressure additives to protect critical parts like bearings, cam lobes, lifter bottoms and other valvetrain parts. In environments with high levels of water or moisture, some greases are designed to resist water washout.

It is also important to use the recommended oil viscosity and oil filter for the engine to ensure proper lubrication and filtration. Consequently, it should make no difference if a conventional oil or synthetic oil is used for the initial break-in. The deciding factor would be the cost of the oil itself. The bottom line is, that you can use oils of indistinguishable viscosity. If you do it right, we can guarantee you that you’ll solve this problem once and for all. Oil Drainage During Storage Zinc, which is activated at both low and high working temperatures, provides unparalleled protection. Non-foaming. How Much Engine Assembly Lube To Use

Here's how it works

But as a general-purpose user, I found the results quite satisfactory. This is a liquid lubricant that comes in a well-built bottle. Here I am mentioning some characteristics of an engine assembly lube. The grease should contain these things to be the best engine assembly lube for 2 stroke engines. If you are assembling your own powertrain, assembly lube is an essential commodity. It is intended for use when assembling an engine.

The typical recommendation is to use the break-in oil for the first hour or so of run time and tuning, then drain it and change the filter. Some say their break-in oils can be left in the engine while doing dyno pulls or even for one night of racing.

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.

Lower viscosity synthetic oils such as 0W-40, 5W-20, 5W-30 and 5W-40 are thinner oils that allow easier cold starting and reduced friction for better performance and fuel economy. Generally, assembly lube and grease are compatible with most engine components, including bearings, camshafts, pistons, and crankshafts.If you are rebuilding your engine, or even if you are just changing your camshaft, you will need to use an assembly lube. On the other hand, if the cylinders are “plateau” honed with a multi-step honing process that includes brushing as the final step, the surface finish on the cylinders will be much closer to a broken-in profile. To find out if I needed each container for use on different parts, I called the Torco tech line just to get an answer. I was told that all three are actually the same product, just with different delivery methods. I thought about that and realized how each method could have its place during assembly. Once the initial fuel, ignition and valvetrain adjustments have been made and initial dyno pulls completed, shut the engine off, drain the break-in oil, and remove and inspect the oil filter for any signs of trouble (such as metallic debris that indicates unusual wear is occurring).
