Give me a fucking break. About 3 rotations into the engine's life the cylinder walls will all get sprayed by the OIL SQUIRTERS and OILING RINGS! Anything above the top ring will get burned off. Dry or oiled, it'll all wind up the same in about 2 seconds.
The walls don't need to be dry. They just need to be clean. Nothing wrong with using oil. You can do it dry, too.

"Restoration" is one of the most abused terms I've ever heard. When one deviates from factory colors, methods and materials, it is no longer a restoration.
