In my situation, I knew my motor was going to sit for a week or 2 while I picked up some loose ends so I opted for Lucus engine assembly lube. Its very thick and tacky so it wont run off if sitting for a period of time. I read a bunch of good stuff on the Clevite bearing guard but the stuff was hard to find.
I know your not an idiot and may already know this but don't use synthetic oil during the break in period...
Hope this helps.

That is true of old school motors. Newer stuff it doesn't really matter. Hell, cars come out of the factory with synthetic in them for years now.
I agree with adding the Lucas or a similiar product if it is gonig to sit. The thickness of it will help the parts stay lubed.
