Assembly lube gets the job done, but I usually coat the cams in motor oil before I put them in regardless of the cam lube I use.

I've always used cam lube with new cams. I get it from my local parts store. You should be able to find it somewhere in your country.

if you cant find any engine assembly lube use some thicker engine oil for pre-lubing the cams........it should be ok....

I would recommend some cam lube or assembly oil. I happened to find some after looking in 3 Autozone stores. But I think the one store just had it by serendipidy.
