None of this addresses the cam lobes and lifter faces. Cranking slowly is the worst thing as no oil gets slung from the crank up to those surfaces and you are dry metal to metal. Using a drill on oil pump does not get that accomplished either unless it runs down from upper valve train on those lifters allowing it. The best and easiest way is to buy several gallons of oil, fill it till it comes out the breather you removed, drain it, put 5 qts back in and go. Crazy, but beats wrecking cam.
