AN cams come with a "special" cam lube that reminds me of STP. Hepolite cams (what I normally use), come with nothing and say nothing. I do use assembly lube on the lobes, and I ensure that the bushings are well lubed with oil during assembly. I also dump some oil in the exhaust rocker area. I don't consider any of that to be critically needed - it's just a little extra protection for the first few minutes of running before being able to ride.To me, grinding (when needed) and polishing the tappet surfaces is much more important when not using new.
