question regarding fitting cams -

Can you fit the cams into the head and leave it - basically once you have applied the lube are they fine to sit for a while

The bottom end isn't yet built so they will be sat for a few weeks so will the cams still be lubricated at the later date?

I know FMC used to have complete engine in pallets which is kind of the same

 

yeah should be fine matey.

 

I wouldnt worry about it. Cam lube was more of an issue with old flat tapped engines. The lifters had small contact areas, can journals often narrow and generally oil supply wasnt great.

Modern OHC engines with big diameter lifters it really isnt that important. Just oil them up After sitting for a few days it will be no different than your own car parked up for a few days.

 

Cheers for the info lads

 

But if you really want to use something, Torco make an engine lube which is similar. Cam lube of old was like a very thick gear oil.

 

its all ok wot your going to do mate just when its all togever leve the dizzy out and prime the motor with a drill that will put oil all round the motor with out hitting the key

 

Col, was speaking to Dave Pritchard at ND and he was saying the same
