Be aware that your particular situation might vary from standard procedures.

I was taught to dunk the whole piston/ring/rod assembly in motor oil.  My last
engine (Jaguar) had rings that were designed to be run dry at startup.

I'm assembling a Ford at the moment, and there are instructions included
with the gasket set and the timing gears/chain.  I read and follow the 
instructions
