Porsche Crest What to do if oil is not moving?

Finally got my 944 running after ten years, but a new problem arose. The oil is not making it to the top end (cam and valves), and I heard it loud and clear. When I went to change the oil I had to physically start the process with a screwdriver. I was thinking about removing the valve cover and manually applying oil, then starting the car to warm the oil to ease the draining process. My friend suggested to blow-torch the oil pan-seemed crazy. I know removing the engine then the oil pan would be the best way to solve this problem, but that option is not ideal; I like to try something else first. Does anyone have any suggestion?
