preferred lube for 1.6L camshaft installation
Cylinder Head installed and ready to install camshaft and rocker arm train.
Did some reading about assembly and found out I need to lube very liberally the camshaft and the cradle prior to installing the valve train.
There are many videos on you tube suggesting. I would like to put this engine together tomorrow if I can get some responses from this forum. If not then I will hold off until Monday and talk with the maching shop that milled the head.
Thank you in advance .

oil was what I planned on using but then being my first time, decided to google the procedure. Then read different ways of assembly using different lubes but none mentioned oil. So decided to ask opinions on this forum. I believe I will go with oil as my choice.
