Another approach:  with the plugs out and the valve cover off, squirt a
little oil in the cylinders and on top of valve assemblies.  Then just spin
the motor with the starter until you get a good oil pressure reading on the
gauge.  Stop, let everything settle and repeat once or twice.  Works just as
well, especially if you used assembly lube on the crankshaft and connecting
rods.
