Assembly lube

Hi guys I finally got all my parts to put my motor together and was just wonder what everyone uses for Assembly lube. The motor may be sitting on and engine stand for awhile until I get the truck back together. Thanks

Use any light grease you want. Prime the engine with a drill before running it. You shouldn't/won't be running the engine hard enough long enough during the break in period for the minor degree of contamination from the grease to cause sludging issues.

I use any lighter grease or assembly lube. As mentioned, please prime the oil pump before starting it.
