Default lubricating cams and also a gasket question

Putting my B16A head back together, I have been told I can use Oil to lube my cams and all when installing, Im trying to put my motor together and cant find engine assy lube any where here (in germany, language barrier sucks) would oil be ok, or should I order some lube and just put up with waiting? Also any clue where these gaskets go in the head?

the thing about assembly lube is, you can grease it up and just let it sit for a while, and the lube will stick to it. with oil, you have to put everything together and get it going right away, because the oil will drip off

If it will help, I just used normal motor oil when assembling my motor.

Gaskets: Those 4 in the bottom center looks like injector grommets

you can use motor oil and if you are really concerned, wait until you have everything ready, and add oil last. pour the oil all over the cams/head then put on the vavle cover and then start the car.

As stated before oil is fine,Im assuming you are also using your old cams, if you were installing some new cams I would be more worried, but it should be fine if you plan on getting the engine going soon.
