If it will be running within a day after final assembly, use a smear of moly and motor oil or stp oil treatment with moly. Lucas oil stabilizer is also a fantastic assy lube additive to use with moly. Use it on all bearing surfaces and crank/rod journals with moly. Apply a liberal smathing of moly to the cam lobes and lifter faces. No need to pack the pump (as long as its within spec) for fast pick up if you use moly on all journal surfaces and cam. An engine assembled with moly will run for about 7 minuites with no oil. (found this out the hard way) If you dont have pressure by then, well you know... Use the regular motor oil that you plan on using to run with everywhere else.

Dont run Lucas oil stabil during break in period, that stuff is so viscious that rings wont get a chance to seat properly and the bores will glaze. If you get some lucas stabil, try drawing it between your thumb and gorefinger and watch how it strings out, pretty tuff stuff.
