Default molly lube/cam/lifters?
Anyone use it on cam swaps and or on the lifters? Read a few posts that it can gum up rollers on lifters.

Or u guys mostly coat em in oil?

I use moly assembly lube, never had a problem yet on the engines I've built.

Just regular engine oil is all you need on the newer generation roller cam swaps.

Engine oil is fine. If you won't be starting it for awhile then assembly lube is ideal.
