I always use Lubriplate assembly lube when putting a new engine together (rebuild). When ready to start it, I always turn it over with the starter for a min or less to get oil circulated through the journals, then start it. IF you have used an assembly lube so that the cylinders and journals aren't "dry", you should be fine.
I have never had a problem with that technique. FYI, anything like STP, Lubriplate, Napa Assembly Lube, Lucas, etc. that is tacky will work well as an assembly lube. The idea is to have the lube "stick" to the metal until the oil has circulated. It also needs to be such that it will "blend" with the oil when up to operating temp. I am a big fan of Lubriplate, as it was formulated and designed as an assembly lube. It has been on the market for years, and when I was "learning" about engines, was what I was taught to use. Haven't had one of my rebuilds "blow up" yet.
