340 Oil Priming Question First Start

Best way I can think of to kill a cam. Or the bearings or bushings in roller lifters.

It’s pretty simple to turn the engine by hand to get oil up top.

Laying on the starter to do it is asking for cam failure.

I don't think that you could turn the engine over by hand fast enough to get the oil to the top end of the engine
