Should cam lube be real runny like mobil 1??
I bought a XE268 and I am putting it now, and the cam lube that came with the cam is VERY runny (also bright red).. the last time I installed a cam, I used Crane cams lube, and it was very thick like Molybedenum grease.
Does this sound like I'm using the right stuff?

It's fine, that's what they're supplying these days, it's usually thicker than gear lube but nowhere near as thick as something like moly grease...
As long as you got the lobes coated with it, you're good to go.
