<VV> new lifters...

[mark at noakes.com]

It's been a long time since I replaced any lifters, but I have to 
replace a broken one now...got the new from Clarks.

Clarks said NOT to prime it. Directions on the box said to follow 
directions that came with the lifter...which were none. If I adjust per 
the 65 manual's cold adjust procedure, won't this cause problems 
immediately after startup?  Granted it should pump up fairly soon, 
but...

Does no one sell moly based assembly lube any more?  All I can find is 
engine assembly lube based on lithium...NAPA...makes me squeamish that 
I'm not going far enough to protect the cam and moving parts on 
startup.

Since this is a new lifter on an old cam, any general suggestions?  
Like I said it has been MANY years since I've had to do this...and I 
don't want to damage the cam.

Comments?

Thanks,

Mark Noakes
