I took my car apart to replace the timing chain and im having trouble with the oil pan. such a pain in the butt just to do some timing chain... Anyways. when we put the head back, Do we just use any kind of lube? like MOly or do we use motor oil? Cuz i know my integra says to use motor oil for the bolts on the FSM for it.

And can we just use moly for all the bolts???

Thanks again.

Stuff like ARP's assembly lube will torque a little different than motor oil. Personally I'm using Redline's assembly lube, but if you don't want to muck about with slightly different torque specs, just use motor oil to assemble the bolts on your engine.
