Any good parts store will stock dedicated assembly lube, usually in a tube like Sta-Lube etc. That with a little motor oil on top is slick as snot on a doorknob. I also used to use white grease with oil on it, but quit as I learned that it doesn't dissolve in the oil very fast with "clots" floating around for a while, and if the engine sits for a while is separates out into oil and solids. The last thing I would use is an old gimmick oil-thickener like STP, the parts need to able to rotate freely while being protected, not glued together with honey- might as well assemble it with peanut butter. BTW, the 427 Ford I assembled a couple weeks ago with Sta-Lube/oil only took 7 ft-lbs of torque to rotate the entire short block assembly, and I could easily turn the crank by itself with one finger and my thumb
