Assembly lube on connecting rod bearings????

Motor oil might be a better choice. I'm no expert but I recall assembly lube being pretty sticky and you want oil flowing through the little passages easily.
 
I don't disagree with Tim. The crankcase will be full of oil. I focus assembly lube on bits that are dry during initial start up, like top end components.
 
i have used this since i was a kid has never let me down and will stay in place for a long time

I have never ever started up an engine dry, i always circulate the oil and verify top end/cam oiling way before i have the nerve to kick it! By then im 100% sure the crank oil galleries are filled, engine has pressure and all is well.
This can either be done by spinning the rear wheel, kicking it over like an idiot for 15 minutes, or by spinning the crank with an air tool.
 
I mount plain bearings/cam and parts with a mix of Motul 300Vmotor oil, Kent camlube and molybdendisulfide grease, mixed to a thick slowly sagging "goo"
this mix contains additives (sink-fosforus-molybden)that will prevent scuffing and will wash out with the oil after startup.
if possible i will fill oil-galleries manually after a full rebuild w a handpump.

Maybe not the best way-maybe not the worst... ;)
