if you are worried about no lube on the bearings, try this:
drain engine oil out of case and replace filter
sit engine on a tyre or two
fill crankcase with diesel fuel (as much as you can fit)
rock engine from side to side to get the fuel onto every internal surface
remove spark plugs
crank engine a few times via starter motor
dump that fuel (will help you start many bbq's or the odd bonfire)
replace the filter
install engine ... and off you go as per normal startup (within a few hours)
a very agricultural but effective way of lubing just about every internat wear surface.
