You don't say whether these are new bearings or you are just reinstalling the old ones after their being out; however, here is a suggestion:

Lubriplate is an assembly lubricant that I have used in building engines. Basically a white grease-looking product designed to protect (lubricate) new bearing surfaces until oil pressure is built up.

It won't run off like oil will, especially if it will be some time before the motor is initially started.

If you buy the cam bearings from a bearing supply house, these's a good chance they will have shields on one, or both, sides of the bearing. These should be removed for proper oil circulation to the bearings and races. Regards, Chase
