I searched left and right on this but couldn't really find much specifically for this.
I am about to finish rebuilding my whole engine and I put back the 1g rods with 2 g pistons on my 6 bolt block. Stupid me, I oiled up the rod bearings with 10-30 synthetic oil before I connected the rods to the crank and tightened the bolts. I know normally people reccomend suing Assembly lube or gear oil for the journals on the camshafts but is using oil in my case going to create problems for me on the first start up of the car?? I know all the oil gets collected down at the oil pan when I first put the oil in the engine so the crankshaft and rods should be the first parts exposed to the oil supply. The bearings were well soaked in clean oil. Do you guys think that would be enough?? I don't know what I was thinking and now I already put the oil pan and sealed everything. I could take it off and redo it again but if using engine oil for that part is not going to cause problems then there is no reason for redoing it. I thought I will ask and hope for the best.
And please, reply only if you know for sure. I don't need guesses in this case.
