The oil pump in your 120 is driven directly by a gear on the camshaft so cannot be turned by using a drill.
If you want to build up oil pressure before starting just remove the spark plugs and turn the engine over with the stater.

I would definitely spin the engine over on the starter with the plugs removed. If you have oiled the cylinders previously it is a must because too much oil might cause excessive head pressures. Spinning the engine over on the starter may purge any excess oil out the plug hole. It will surely smoke up the garage on start up so be aware of that too. Good luck.

Be sure to lay an old but clean towel over the top to catch the excess oil and even so it will make a mess but can't be helped as it needs to come out before you crank it with the plugs in place.
