The moving components, master rod, connecting rods at the connecting points are what I consider dry with very little sign of lubrication used during engine assembly. For anyone who has not run their engine for the first time, for goodness sake add lubricating oil to the crankcase before you even consider starting the engine for the break-in procedure!
Please post pictures of the inside. I would like to see if Satio is adding the bushing to the main rod like the Ray English mod?
