Brand new engine, priming procedure for first startup?

Does anyone know what needs to be done to a remanufactured 2.4L engine before starting it for the first time? I am going to be installing one this week and would like to know what steps to take before starting it for the first time.

I understand the part about priming the system for oil pressure before starting it, but I haven't found how exactly this is accomplished on the 2.4L. Does anything need to be lubed manually before this step? Some articles I've read say to open the engine and pour oil certain places, other contradicting articles say there is grease already put on internal parts to lube them temporarily before the oil starts flowing.

The engine is complete already, pumps and all. Here's a link to it:

If anyone could give me a procedure, I would appreciate it. You guys have saved my ass more times than I can count! Thanks for any help offered!!
