To flood the engine with oil before starting, you can use an old oil filter housing without an element in it; fill it with oil and connect it to the galley with temporary fittings and use some compressed air at the filter inlet to force the oil thru the system. Rotate the engine by hand slowly while doing that such that the rod holes to the wrist pins align at least once and the cylinder walls get at least one squirt. Assuming you prepacked some light grease or heavy oil in the pump and used a preassembly lube, you should not have any concerns.
