Cleanliness is the key to any internal engine work. Even brand new parts must be washed and cleaned. This is the right time to visually inspect your parts and confirm you received what you ordered. Once your engine is prepped and the parts are cleaned, the cam lobes and journals must be liberally coated with an ultra slick and ultra sticky lube. We use Permatex Ultra Slick, available at any auto supply shop. Pop for the good stuff as plain engine oil won't cut it. Cover all the lobes except the number one cylinder intake--this lobe gets coated after the degreeing is finished. The lube is cheap insurance, and can't hurt anything, so load up.
