    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Any one have an opinion . . .Do I need to Lube wrist pins and cam bearing journals with moly? Or, can I just oil them?

Thanks!

Personally Mark I would use engine oil on the wrist pins and moly on the cam bearings and lobes.
 
Thanks guys, realized I didn't have any moly, so I thought I would check before making the trip into town. But at least I can get the pistons and cylinders together before I have to go.
 
a liberal coating of oil will be enough. after all, that is all the cams rely on after a cold start.

(just my opinion)
 
maybe I should start a new thread for this, but . . . The front cam chain guide (part #12771-45052) It isn't obvious to me where it engages/sits down in the engine. I can see where the top of it slides into slots in the cylinder head. Does this part get slid into place after the cylinder head goes on, or should it be put in there before sliding the cylinders down over the pistons?
