I think Bob M. really has it right.

On the car engines I've rebuilt, I've used "assembly pre-lube" on the cam and lifters, and motor oil (liberally) everywhere else -- especially the pistons, rings, and the bearings on both ends of the rods.

I remember reading in some manual that a non-prelubed cam can be "wiped" by the lifters and ruined within 30 seconds after startup. They didn't say exactly how or why, but the statement stuck with me so I've always used the pre-lube.
