I recommend: "AMSOIL Engine Assembly Lube (EAL) is formulated to cling to engine parts and provide exceptional wear protection, while inhibiting rust and corrosion in newly built or rebuilt four-stroke engines. It is designed to dissolve in oil, helping eliminate oil port clogging and deposit formation."

Thank you.
Engine oil (same stuff that's going in the motor) for pretty much everything. A LIGHT coating of WD-40 on pistons and cylinder walls. Some guys wipe down the cylinder walls and piston skirts with ATF.
Prelube your motor before starting.

Torco or Lucas but not on rings and cylinder walls; use motor oil. I am not a fan of the "dry" approach to ring seal, i.e., ATF or WD40; not saying good or bad, just not for me. I want lots of lubrication the first time a new build is fired up.
