Get the insides good and wet before putting power through the bearings. The
engine will probably have to pump quite a bit of oil before filling the
filter and oil galleys. And as I just wrote that I can't remember if the
Ambo even has a filter, so your pump time maybe a bit less, but lots oil in
the right places is good!

I like to use assembly lube when I rebuild the engine. Its real gooey and
stays on for a long time until the oil gets flowing. Not to mention it smells
great when you first start it!
