Josh - Prelube is required to protect rubbing components until normal lube oil flow is established on the first start. I think there exist special "pre lube" products for this purpose. However myself for bearings (rod, main, cam, etc - also cam lobes) I use a light coat plain old gun grease during assembly. And for pistons I simply oil them with regular motor oil.

Also before starting the engine the first time I put another squirt of oil down each plug hole, then crank the motor with the plugs out until oil pressure begins to show on the gage. I then put in the plugs, fire it up!

Haven't had a lube-related problem yet...
