David,
You might want to consider using assembly lube on your journals or rod
bearings in place of the oil mixture. The assembly lube will stay in place
and lubricate the journals until you have oil pressure, assuming that the oil
pressure comes up normally. This can add some life to the bearings and
journals and still let you rotate the engine by hand as you finish up. Sorry
I did not get in line sooner with this item. I use Crane Assembly Lube #
99002. If you can not find it at your local auto part store try hot
rod/racing suppliers.
