Haaaah... the smell of fresh block paint.
Picked up my newly refurbished block and parts at the machine shop yesterday.
Masked and sprayed today and plan on starting the reassembly tomorrow. The
head stayed at the machine shop until the 8th valve stem "O" ring arrives.
Seems I was shorted in my head kit from SS. Oh well, wasn't ready for it yet
anyway.
Does anybody have any feeling toward specific "assembly lube." I am leaning
toward the heavier grease due to the fact it may be another 8-12 months
before that bad boy is turned over. I think just engine oil may drain down.
The machine shop guy does not like the idea of "Molly Lube" because of it's
inability to dissolve very fast with regular oil. He says there are some
assembly lubes that are good. What do ya think?
