I always used white lithium based grease, or later a good quality rebuild
grease, on all cams, bearings and lifters in each engine ive rebuilt. I have
generally had very good luck, and on one occasion, when an unrelated part
failed I discovered that the new cam had seated perfectly and showed no
improper wear in the first 10K mi. I started this practice after consulting
several engine rebuilders when I first started playing with cars years ago,
but in rechecking I still find that advice given by the engine guys I know.
