Just had a thought,  I remember seeing an article in a magazine about
rebuilding a Rover(Buick) V8, the ioil pumps on these are packed with
Vaseline(petroleum Jelly) to prime them, this dissolves with the oil so it
doesn't matter.  You could always try this.  It probably wouldn't be as messy
as trying to keep it full of oil and fit it.
