Rebuilding Motor - Too much lube ?

Posted by Brian on January 04, 2003 at 09:14:07 from (24.114.185.3):

When reassembling a motor, I know you are suppose to use a oil to lube all moving parts. My part supply guy gave me a bottle of the stuff he uses, it's a real thick lube. My question is, should I be putting large amounts on all the bearing surfaces such as:
Crank
Connecting rods
Piston pin bushing
Inside Cylinders ?
Tappets
Cam bearing surfaces, lobes
timing gears ?

I figured more is better, but on the other hand, this is thick stuff, and don't want this stuff to keep the regular oil from getting to the bearings.

Thanks all !
Brian
