Assembly Lubricant

["Terry Smith" <terryrs@adelphia.net>]

Hello, everyone.  It's been a while since I've assembled an engine.  What is
the consensus on the best lubricant to apply to mating surfaces, such as
bearings?  Motor oil has worked for me in the past, but isn't there something
better that will stick to the target location until start up rather than
draining away?  How about plain old grease gun grease?

Thanks in advance for your advice.
