Default ? about final assembly

Hello, I've torn my engine down to put new heads on and I'm wondering if there is any way to lube the motor before I crank it over again. It'll probably have been sitting for about 3 weeks total before I have it back together. Would it kill it to put a light coat of oil on the piston/ring/cylinder wall before I put the heads on? Just don't want to start the whole thing up dry if I can avoid it. Thanks!

and you could also disconnect the coils and turn it over a couple of time until you think it is primed a little.
