290 is wicking, the other two are more viscous.  I use the viscous ones when I put cam bearings in aluminum blocks.  I smear a little on the block and then knock the bearing in. 

Remember when you do roller cam bearings that you have to be more strategic about installing them, since you're pulling them in.
