Re: IML: Replacing lifters in a 440

["Dave" <Wilkerbeast01@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I don't think you can over lube a new engine, especially on the cam and 
lifters. I usually soak the lifters in oil (The same oil you are going to 
fill the engine with) over night. I use break-in lube on the cam lobes. I 
drool and dribble copious amounts of motor oil on the rings, pistons, crank 
bearings and timing chain. When it is all assembled, use a drive rod and 
heavy duty drill (Lots of resistance, use a powerful drill) to spin the oil 
pump and prelube the engine.
