Default Cam install questions

Is assembly lube allright to use or do I have to have "cam" lube?

When I put the cam in, I turn the crank until cyl #1 is at TDC, which way should the cam gear be facing? I've got the Ford Motorsport High Performance full roller multi index timing chain set. The big sprocket has the single dot but the little one has a bunch of indexing points, 2A thru 8A and 2R thru 8R. If I were to guess I would line it up right in the middle of the 2A (Advance) and the 2R (Retard). Do I line that up so that point is straight up at the dot on the big sprocket?

Should I lube up the timing chain? If so with what, oil or assembly lube?

Also, is there a good cleaner I can use to remove the carbon buildup on the pistons?

Thanks guys. BTW I'm putting in the TFS stage 1 cam if it makes any difference.
