In Australia due to shipping,

what is the best/suitable camshaft lube to use in the A series mini engine
and where to buy?

Karcraft sells mpz cam lube, around $16.50 a tube.
I just use Castrol LMM molygrease. It is less likely to drip off if engine is stored for any time.

What cam did Noah's ark use?
And does Minispares still sell them?
