You can use motor oil for lube. The timing cover should have it's own seal. You don't need extra sealant.

You need to use 2 dabs of silicone on the bottom corners of timing cover.

Autozone has Lucas high zinc break in oil that might work

Also you will need another cam retainer plate, the gasket is made into it and they dont seal up good after being removed from a engine with some miles on them.
