ya you can just dry fire it a few times. usually one of the big no no's is don't rely on your interment panel. but you should be fine dry firing it a few times. just don't keep cranking it till worlds end haha. you'll be fine on start up. sorry if i came off like scaring you don't do it this way sort of thing i'm just saying everything i know, but you should be fine. as far as pulling valve covers off. i wouldn't save you some time and effort. just don't let it idle when you start it

I agree... Just usually added one more step. Fill oil filter up with oil first.. Then disable ignition and crank until pressure comes up on gauge. The assembly lube will suffice until the oil flows through. Like stated above, no need to remove valve covers...
