Five year old crate engine

UHT 1200 exhaust paint with ceramic. Comes in white as I recall, did a set of headers and it actually lasted. Missed a few places and when I stripped the rust off on a wire wheel, the surface under the paint was still rust free. I did mine but have not fired it up yet. If it was started once after the rebuild, I wouldnt bother with the pre-oiling. These motors are tough and 3 seconds of dry cranking or idle with no pressure isnt going to kill it. Heard the story of the old lady that put radiator water in the slant's oil filler? She drove it in and said it was making a noise...she DROVE it in! Fact or fiction?
