Message	There is absolutely no reason to do something like this.... The pump will draw oil in and oil will be to all areas of the motor within just a couple of seconds. The engine is under no load and latent oil in the contact points will be far more than ample for that brief time. New motors should be assembled using assembly lube so that there is lubricant in said contact points until the pump drives oil throughout the motor. .... you really do not need to go to such extremes.
