Molybdenum grease for the lobes on a new camshaft?

[arcticXS]

Hi,
I am soon ready to assemble the head of the 1982 XT250 with a new camshaft and rockers. I seem to remember that aftermarket car camshafts used to come with a small tube of assembly/ running in lube. Most likely some kind of molybdenum disulphide grease.

Should I use for example CRC MoS grease, like used for driveshaft CV joints, or a "drier" type of MoS assembly paste, AkA Molykote?

Paste. Smear it on so it sticks.

I have been using this stuff for years. No start up issues.

Good stuff! I've used Royal Purple Assy Lube with the same good results.

Thanks for your tips! Trying to find something available in Norway, I ended up ordering Kent Cams' assembly paste, from a parts vendor for MG and other classic British cars.

Cam paste, not engine assy. lube.
