Prelubing the engine stationary is the ONLY way.

Do not crank a new engine to get oil pressure.

The engine needs to fire up just as quickly as a good running engine does.

Carbs need to set and ignition advance near enough correct for fire up, especially with flat tappet cams, otherwise goodbye lobes.
