How to lube an engine?

[bkpros@shaw.ca (Big Kid)]

You should squirt some oil in the cylinder head, through the spark plug hole
before you spin the crank.  The motor could probably sit for a long time. I
wouldn't be too worried. Probably worth doing if it's a concern.
Use the same meathod when trying to start it for the first time too.
