Where are your safety glasses?! Anytime you hammer, grind or cut even amongst other things, save your eyes man!

@studpuppy69 this guy is engine building like a boss

I work with safety glasses 9 hours a day. It took a while to get used to it but it's for the best. Now, I can't go into Home Depot without feeling like I need eye protection.

@Mikej1592 assembly lube is used because it is sticky and will stay on the metal surface until the engine is actually run-in. Regular oil will run off and leave a minute layer on the surface which is not enough to lube the engine properly until oil pressure builds. Mixing the two will not do any harm to the engine and they will eventually meld together after going through a couple heat cycles. Either way an engine should be primed with oil before Initial firing. Break In. Oil changed thereafter.

@duramaxjad4 its actually a Carbide Burr. Carbide is used for ferrous metals since it will take off more material faster and not wear out. Non-ferrous metal such as aluminum can use regular burrs. You can find these at hardware stores occassionaly or Performance parts retailers such as Jegs, Summit Racing, Scoggin-Dickey

quick question, an old time racer friend of mine that builds his own engines is a bit of a maniac and is against engine lube. Something about the differing viscosity between normal oil or synthetic and the thick lube. What is your opinion on that? for example what if you just built the whole engine in a single setting, ie. had all the parts ready before final assembly, and just used plenty of oil on the parts, non stop from cam to pan assembly, good, same, worse, better? whats your opinion?
