Oil pressure for the cam bearings and the mains can be brought up before start up several ways.This will not lube the cam lobes as they have to be lube d from the big end of the rod and it has to be turning fast to accomplish this.In less you build really fast pre lube of the cam will drain off before you get to fire.The reason for the message was the discussion about wiping out a cam on start up and having low compression on two cylinders.
