Ok so I finally got around to machine out the broken ez out that was broken off in the cylinder head installed 2 heli coils ontop of one another and it works great ... ,Taped entire head first ,leaving only broken bolt exposed to prevent metal shavings in engine .. then using a rag and compressor blew out all oil sitting on cylinder head at tappets and cam lobes to be 100 percent sure there was zero metal shavings on head , when I was complete ..
My question is should I pour a little oil on cylinder head filling up where tappets and cam lobes are , so the initial start up it isnt dry in there ?

You can if you'd like. Or you could wipe a little moly on the cams and journals or pull the ign fuse and crank the engine around in order to get a little oil to the upper end before firing it up It's all in what you are used to doing.

Me? Moly on the lobes and journals.

The same thing that's used to lube rear splines.

Molly is the girl next door.

Moly is Molybdenum paste or assembly lubricant with a high Molybdenum content. This is ideal for smearing lightly on bearing surfaces during assembly prior to "dry" startup, as it is a very wear-resistant material.
