They should take the warning labels off of everything and let stupidity sort itself out.

I slather EVERYTHING, then dump an oz. or two in the crankcase before the jug goes on, then start it with the choke "ON", and leave it on... it smokes like a mother.... but there is no metal to metal contact.... and all the oil being pumped overboard takes any shit that ground off with it.
You cant have too much oil for the first minute or two.....

yup. fill the bottom end with oil until it is level with the edges of the case, then put the jug on.

seriously though, drench the lower rod bearing with oil, dump some into the crankcase, slather the cylinder, piston, rings, wrist pin, wrist pin bearing with oil and assemble. smokes like crazy, but prevents damage
