  Shawn,
   Don't be afraid to use the ND30 weight.  You'll only have it in there a short while and you don't need heavier oil on a fresh engine.
  It may not be easy to find heavier oil that is ND anyway....
    Ask for, get and use the ASSEMBLY LUBE!  It is the moly-based stuff you want.  It should be available at most FLAPS.
  Use it to lube the:
  cam bearings and lobes
  main bearings
  rod bearings
  balance shaft bearings (as applicable)
  piston pins
  any other bearing surfaces I may have overlooked
  ...don't forget to prime that new oil pump before you install it!

    ok sounds good, so i guess i will have to use ND50 if i can find it. I know i can get ND30....OK i will by some molly lub. Is there different thicknesses of it. I notice some guys said to make sure i dont get the thick stuff.

      You won't find a non-detergent multi-grade motor oil, I don't think.  I believe all NDs are single grade.
      By the way, I would use assembly lube, not just motor oil.

        So using ND30 is fine. Good that was what i was planning on doing. I know i
        was told i should run ND20w50 for engine break in but i am having a hard
        time finding it. Anyideas? I live in winnipeg, manitoba, canada.
