Description
Penrite Cam Assembly Lube is a special purpose sticky paste formulated with a grease base, designed for the initial lubrication of engine parts during the engine assembly process. It contains rust inhibitors, oxidation inhibitors, tackiness additives, zinc and graphite anti-wear agents to provide outstanding engine lubrication protection prior to and during first starting of new or rebuilt engines.
Features
- Withstands loads greater than 200,000 PSI
- Added zinc for increased anti-wear protection
- Has a tacky additive and will not run off surfaces like normal engine oil
- Provides highest protection possible in the vital first seconds after starting
- Will not harm white metal bearings
- Provides initial hydrodynamic lubrication and puts a lubricant barrier between moving parts
Application
Cam Assembly Lube is recommended for initial lubrication of engine components during assembly. These items include camshaft lobes, followers, journals, camshaft and crankshaft bearings, pushrod tips, rockers, bushes, gears, thrust bearings and timing chains.
The product is applied directly to moving or stationary surfaces that come in contact with other moving surfaces that would normally be lubricated with engine oil once oil pressure is established. Only a light film of product is required so it should be used sparingly. The product dissipates into the engine lubricant after the first start.
Important Notes
- Should not be used on pistons as the graphite may hamper the bedding in process
- Has also been used satisfactorily in veteran engines with exposed valves and valve springs as protection against rust and corrosion whilst the vehicle is not being used
- Penrite recommend the use of Running in Oil with new and rebuilt engines
