oiling bearings
would there be a downside to priming my crate engine once in a while with a priming tool to lube the bearings while it sits? at the rate i'm going, it won't be running for quite a while.

I say this in no way disrespectful,or in no bad way,but your honesty is nice to see.
Your baby will come together,cause you are a humble man.
Priming it is fine,and probably not needed,but only takes a couple minutes,and sure won't hurt it.

Oops! ...didn't realize the crate engine was still in the crate...

It won't hurt and will give you something to do while you get the $$$ or time or whatever is holding you up in completing your project. However, don't get "stuck in time"...... I knew a guy who spent months spray painting his empty short block and heads. Whenever I went by his house he was out in his garage spray painting. I think he must have sucked a couple of cans worth into his lungs. Money and time weren't his problem......., motivation was. Good Luck.
