From experience, and strong instruction from a person who was and indy racer engine prep man in the mid fifties, the key has two parts 1) use moly/oil, or lubriplate assembly grease liberally on all contact surfaces except rings cyl wall (use intended breakin oil when installing pistons. 2) charge the system with breakin oil prior to starting. Using a cheap rotary drill pump with the intake tube pulling from a bottle of oil is successful. even a pump type oil can into a rubber adapter (chunk of small hose) and pumping oil into the gallery for 10-15 min would work. On engines with a distributor driven oil pump (not letter series farmalls), I use an extended shaft, and drive the oil pump until the pressure gauge indicates a few pounds. this never fails.
