There’s no need to lube anything other than a film of oil.
Especially if grease is used on the cylinder walls that’s not a good idea as gets into the ring grooves.
You will not get it out and it will burn and hang up the rings from spinning when you do fire the motor back up and the motor will smoke badly while the grease is burning.
Get a contractor’s big garbage bag.
Pick the whole engine up with the engine stand by its front with your crane and then slip the stand off and unbolt the arm from the motor.
Drop the motor into the bag assembly on the floor ass end first.
Next have someone help you to tie the bag closed as you use a vacuum to suck out all of the air.
Done deal!
