You must follow the directions with Assembly Lube, as with everything else - some people operate on the principle of "if a little is good a lot is better" - not with assy lube - when applying the assy lube make sure you use a small dab and rub it in good - a blob can stop the flow of oil. And that's when problems start.
As Tom says, oil works as long as you have a good film. Another method that helps is to leave spark plugs / glow plugs out and disconnect the ignition/main power line so the engine will not start - then crank until you see oil pressure on the gauge. Good luck.
