Lucas Oil 10152 Assembley Lube-118ml

Product Information

That’s great for everyday driving, improving fuel economy and increasing horsepower, but for engine break-in some say the less friction modifier in the oil, the better. Others counter and say that’s nonsense and that friction modifiers have little or no impact on engine break-in. If you’re looking for an engine assembly lube that will get the job done right, COMP Cams Cam & Lifter Installation Lube is a great option. These are also resistant to oil breakdown and have excellent anti-wear properties. Overall, the Camshaft Assembly Lube is an outstanding product that will keep your engine running like new. Assembly lube is also designed to be used during the assembly process of an engine or other machinery, whereas grease is typically used to lubricate finished products. This grease can be applied to followers, bearings, pistons, and other mechanical components. Although it is better suited for camshaft and drivetrains.

Overall, this is a lubricant that you can go for if you want to stay on a safe side. The rust-free and anti-seize additives of this assembly lube is a bonus for your engine. Pros I included this at the top position, not for the brand value. But for the real-life experience, I had with this product. This lube will protect the rotating elements of your engine just like a guardian angel.By the way, this is not a traditional Molybdenum based grease. But the manufacturer is claiming a three times firmer strength than that. I think they have added some capable alternatives to moly. Finally, assembly lube is typically applied to surfaces that will be moving relative to each other, such as piston rings and bearings.

For whichever route you go, if two pieces of metal are rubbing on each other, you'll want to use your lube there. Such as: The specific gravity is 0.89 which is decent. It is not that dry and it will not run off from the parts. It adheres to the metal surface quite well. The compatibility with oil and other lubricants is a very vital factor of assembly lube. When you start the engine for the first time, the engine oil will wash away most of the assembly lubricants. The first few minutes are the most crucial during the initial startup of an engine. A lot can go wrong with a freshly built engine. For example if the pre-lube is skipped the rings might not seat properly and the bearings could ride too tight or too loose. Many issues can snowball and cause catastrophic engine damage. Above all else, the oil delivery system has to build up the oil pressure within the engine so that all wear surfaces receive proper lubrication. Camshaft failure is a popular source of failure upon initially starting an engine without proper lubrication.My preference is to use assembly lube for the rest of the parts. Assembly lube will keep the parts from chafing (wearing against each other) during initial start-up until the oil can do it's thing. As the oil replaces the assembly lube (washes the lube away), all of these parts will be protected. The main reason why we use assembly lube is to protect the components while starting up. This lubricant clings nicely to the surface and eliminates friction. The liquid has low viscosity and hence it reaches the deepest points of the engine. Permatex provides reliability and problem-solving solutions that extend the life of your equipment, whether you require oils, additives, or dressings for special-mission, work applications or the rigors of heavy-duty requirements. Prevent Scuffing and Galling In environments with high levels of water or moisture, some greases are designed to resist water washout. Assembly lube typically has a higher concentration of additives, such as zinc and phosphorus, to provide additional protection during the initial startup of the engine.

TORCO A550055JE is the other engine assembly lube alternative for professional mechanics. The lube is used for assembling various internal mechanical components such as transmission components, journals, roller bearings, bushings, ball bearings, pistons, and wrist pins. TORCO MPZ assembly lube has a high viscosity. This lubricant is also soluble in oil. When draining the assembly lube or grease, it is important to inspect the oil for any metal particles or debris that may have accumulated during the break-in period. It is important to follow the manufacturer’s recommended break-in procedure for the engine when using assembly lube or grease. The Red Line assembly lube has been in the market for a long time now. As the years passed, they made sure to improve their formula. Shelf life is another very important matter of a grease. You will get a longer shelf life with this lubricant. Most of the cheap lubricants become dry if you put on the shelf for a long period.Although it is intended to use as the coating inside the cylinder surface. But you can use it in other parts. Most of the professional mechanics use this for installing a hydraulic camshaft. It is commonly used in automotive applications, such as lubricating wheel bearings, chassis components, and universal joints. It is also used in industrial machinery, such as bearings, gears, and chains. In addition, it is used in household applications, such as lubricating door hinges and drawer slides. For the high-pressure usages, the manufacturers add some solid contents to their greases. Moly is the most popular ingredient for this purpose. The element Molybdenum is used for making different compounds. It doesn’t matter if you’re getting it for your car or motorcycle, it’ll make sure to give its best for both. Some people will complete the initial break-in process with break-in oil, drain it and use conventional mineral-based oil for the next 50 to 500 miles.

From that point on, oil pressure should take over and flush away most of the assembly lube. That’s why priming the oil system prior to starting it is so important. Priming prevents a dry start and reduces the lag time for oil to reach the bearings, cam and upper valvetrain components. Avoid mixing different types of this lube as this can cause chemical reactions and compromise lubrication. No matter whether the engine oil is petroleum-based or synthetic. This grease blends easily with that. This is the most vital factor that we should consider while choosing an engine assembly lube. Well, after enough tests and research, we were convinced. From lubing every inch of the engine to protecting it from rust and corrosion, it’ll do it all.This product is an easy to use, solid lubricant that would be a welcomed addition to every toolbox. The applicator allows you to precisely use as much lube as you need, and the bottle gives you plenty of product for many installs to come! Included Components Those who are not used o using this spraying system might find it unsuitable. But once you are used to it, you can easily lube your engine like the champ. Prior to learning about greases, I used a mixture of SAE 30 grade motor oil and STP on my engine builds. I put that very stiff goo on everything from rod and main bearings to pushrod tips. The engines I built using this technique were often very hard to turn over fast enough to start in the days before gear-reduction starters.
