Lubrication for camshafts and followers, after an engine rebuild, liberally smear this Ultra Lube P100 on the parts you want to protect, so in the seconds before oil flows through at a higher pressure, the parts are lubricated against damage and undue wear!
Especially good for Dry sump engines! Recommended by an Old guy in Kent , who built many engines up for both cars and motorcycles.
Anybody else come across it?

Graphogen
Graphogen is a traditional assembly paste that works very well too and is used extensively by specialist engine builders. As the name suggests, it is graphite particles in suspension in a paste that quickly gets washed through by oil after start. First saw it used by an engineering firm in the late 1970s when assembling my T120 Bonneville con-rods after a crank regrind. Smeared liberally on the big-end shells’ white metal (not the backs), it provides that initial vital post first start lubrication. There is a video on YouTube of it being used during a Maserati V12 assembly, which is an interesting watch.

When working at ford engine plant, all open sliding surfaces (cams,pistons, gear drives etc.) were given a touch of molybdemen grease on assembly for that initial start up protection. Not aware of P100
