Procedure for Porsche 964 oil priming

What is the correct procedure for priming a 964 engine before starting after a rebuild?

I am also curious as to what others are doing prior to first start… nice thing about these engines is that the oil pump is primed and has head pressure before you even turn it over for the first time, due to the oil tank setup.

I had planned to use an old cam housing oil line- weld/braze it to a fitting I can plug into my homemade pre-oiler, and pressurize the galleys first. Perhaps not necessary with this engine?
