assembly lube on rocker assembly?

Just had a valve job on my 57 super88, rocker assemblies had to be replaced, purchased nors assemblies from Northwestern auto supply in gd rapids had to disassemble and clean up some surface rust (not a problem) wondering if on reassembly I should use some assembly lube to make sure they are well lubed at start up?


thanks in advance

If you are going to prime the oil system prior to start, assembly lube won't be necessary.
