Thanks for the tip rangcrx, I actualy use the Permatex red engine lube, but tried that graphite lube on a set of cams because I liked the thickness of it. Also rangcrx if I found a block with a good stock bore and had it honed and reused stock pistons, where should I get my rings to fit the stockers??

I can do a compression test sometime this week posibly, but I don't have a leakdown tester.

In between building a sbc 350 for a friend and all the other projects I got its hard to make time.
