In your fingers that moly graphite lube may feel kind of gritty, but under pressure in a bearing it becomes very slick. So what if it stays on the bearing for a while. That is what it is supposed to do. It stays on the bearing and protects it until there is sufficient oil flow to wash it out. The moly also helps to fill in microsopic imperfections in the surface to make the bearing even slicker. I generously used moly graphite based assembly lubes in my bottom end and in the heads. I just used a little 10w30 for the cylinders.
I saw last night on fb about John. The world sure lost a great one. I'm going to miss his humor, advice, and perspective from another portion of the world. Rest in Peace Johnboy.
