Most anti-seize compunds have either copper or nickel in them, So I would not suggest that as a assembly lube.

Assembly lube is cheap so just pick up a small tube or container of it.

i would not do that, anti seize compound is very abrasive, I dont think your engine would appreciate it.

If you run out of assembly lube in the middle of the night mix some white grease and 30wt oil. It will work in a pinch. As mentioned before, never seize contains metal particles and will definately ruin a bearing. For cam break-in wait until you can get the proper lubricant. JMHO
