Bosch Duratherms are best,even better than 60G's.
Rock auto has a decent price.Do a google search for rock auto discount codes.

I only use permatex ultra slick on bearings and wear surfaces:
PERMATEX 81950 ULTRA SLICK Engine Assembly Lube $5.95 BUY ONLINE

And light oil on the cylinder walls myself,of course ARP thread lube on fasteners.

Then regular dino oil in the sump.
