Ok Engine going back together. should i coat all the parts with oil as i am installing them?

engine oil or assembly lube while building..
i normally use an oil car with bike 10/40 in it.
fill sump to correct level..
turn over (no spark) until oil light goes out.

Ideally you should use the same type/make oil that is going in the engine.
Just a squirt in the bearings will do.
Don't oil the bores though as this will prevent ring bedding if they are new.
I use Graphogen assembly compound on the piston skirts and on the cam shell etc but oil will do the trick.
