I use the red line stuff, never had a problem with it....just make sure you pre lube the motor.

what exactly doe "pre-lube" the motor mean??

I have used engine oil, Comp Cams assembly lube, Sealed Power assembly lube, etc.

Almost any assembly lube will work. It is meant to cling to surfaces through the initial startup. Some use white grease, but I am not a fan of that.

white grease works well on hoses and exterior engine things, but on the inside I would use motor oil. Maybe some 15w50 so it stays on better until the startup.

it is when you spin the oil pump prior to start up with a Primer tool ( basicaly a modified distributor shaft )
