Default Lubrication For CAMS in STi Heads

Hey Guys,

I'm interested to know what peoples thoughts are on lubrication for heads when being assembled. I've seen MRT Performance use a red lubricant where the CAMS sit. Is this the best stuff to use for a EJ257? Also does anyone know what this lubricant is called?


Cheers

It is most likely either engine assembly lubricant or camshaft break-in lubricant (if the camshafts are new).

Various companies sell these type of products.

Redline Oil as an example.

Speak with a reputable engine builder, a decent performance parts supplier or look around online.
