After run oil

My thoughts on it are that it works great on 1:1 motors, even with aluminum heads. I think you would be ok with it to use as after run.
 
It should be OK. Basically you want an oil that doesn't dry out/gum up and keeps a protective layer over the internals to prevent rust.
 
The non-drying film may cause issues with the first start up, it may have to be flushed out before the engine starts easily. I would try it on screws and links but I'd probably think twice before coating my engine.
 
I use an aerosol can of storage spray / fogging oil. A quick spray down the plug hole, spin the flywheel a couple of times.
 
Is spinning the flywheel good enough? That's what I did last time I put up a truck but wonder if using a ez start or pulling recoil gives better compression in turn forcing better displacent of moisture...?

I just turn the engine over a few times.
