In the Haynes repair manual it says to lubricate the new shims and follower with molybdenum disulphide oil, what ever that is. Is it ok to just use the same motor oil thats in the bike?



With all due respect, I think I'd do exactly what they suggest. They have probably researched it in their R&D labs.
I DO know that you would NEVER install new lifters/cam in a V8 and put motor oil only on the cam lobes! That HAS been PROVEN to be a cause of severe, early wear.
What are you going to save? $3.95-$9.95?
Maybe even $15!
(Remember what happened to valves (int/exh) that needed lead in the gas, when unleaded came out? I do.)
