If you dont pull it to bits then put some oil in the sump and roll her over on the floor so that you get a bit of oil up around the gudeon pins.
Another thing you might consider is if you need to machine the top of the block, run a fillet of grease around the top of the pistons to seal the bore. Then clean it carefully after machining.
Maybe the head missed a retorque?
