I dont think the ARP moly lube is meant for assembly lube. Go get a tube of actual assembly lube "white grease" from NAPA or CarQuest.

No. ARP is more of a assembly lube. You use it with ARP bolts because that is what the torque values "supplied" are made with.
(sometimes when you get a torque spec it is assuming you are using arp moly lube, no lube at all (dry), 30W oil, etc).
There are lubes (like mentioned above) for pre-lubes. This shit would destroy your upper end if used in that form of an application.
