No Dan, it will hurt ****. I don’t get how you can read everything posted here and STILL you think you gave good advice.
There is never a reason other than being lazy to lay on the starter to prime the engine.
You do understand there is virtually ZERO oil coming off the rods, and that is the oil that lines the cam.
As the lobes get more aggressive the more likely you are to kill parts.
Here is a FACT. You do far more damage laying on the starter to prime an engine than if you just start it and get it running. That’s not opinion. That’s the fact. And I’m talking about the OP and his case.
Even though the cam has been run, your advice can end up screwing the OP. HARD.
Think that through Dan. You could be responsible for telling a guy exactly the wrong thing to do.
And then you doubled down on it and evidently you think it’s not an issue. It is. Your advice was bad and wrong.
