You can't prime that engine by an external means.
Just start it and drive it.
If you have to time it, do it quickly and get it precise later.
 
well we just got it running and i took it for a 45 minute ride.
I used Rotella 15w-40 that i had heated up to about 90 degrees F.

runs great, shifts smoothly and im very happy with the overall ride.

I havent ragged on it drag race style from a stand still yet but i started out easy to get the engine hot and slowly progressed going faster and giving it more throttle as i went progressing to full throttle and even came close to topping it out in top gear.

still a little bit of smoke from the exhaust when the engine is revving down but im not worried about it. its not much, plus theory is when the engine is revving down or engine breaking it creates a vacuum and can suck some oil up from the rings and burn a little.
