I use "cam lube" which is very thick and stays put until engine oil washes
it away (unlike STP which flows out over time) on the cam and lifters and
Red Line "assembly lube" for bearing surfaces, available in some auto parts
stores and speed shops (where they sell Red Line syntho oil products). The
cost is minimal because you don't really use very much.
