I'm finally about to start assembling my 2366. Right now, I'm most nervous about wiping out a lobe on my new cam, a SCAT C35 (.495 lift, 285 duration) - I am using matching SCAT lifters.
Really just wanting to get my plan on paper and front of this audience to make sure I'm on the right track and to put my mind at ease. Here's what I'm thinking: 1) Use graphite spray on cam and lifters 2) Liberal application of the supplied assembly lube (the thick stuff) to the cam and lifters 3) Since the lifters have a lube hole in the center of them, prime them with assembly lube 4) Fill pushrods with oil 5) Use Brad Penn break in oil 6) Don't install rocker arms until after oil pressure is built so I don't wipe off the assembly lube during the pressure building process (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) |
