Why not just crank the engine without starting, by turning the prop until
you feel good compressions? That's what I normally do, and it worked well
so far.

Don; in the old days when still building stock car motors we made up a
fixture that we inserted in the oil pump slot and turned it with an
electric
drill to pre-lube the engine. In later years we just tapped into the oil
galley and pressure fed the beast with a small pump prior to startup if it
had been sitting for a while as over the winter. I always use STP as
assembly lube as it has less of a tendency to leave the surface it's
placed
on than motor oil.
