ways to prime oil pump?

So I made an oppsie, I didn't prime the oil pump before I installed the engine into the truck. Normally it wouldn't be a big deal but my dingo engine mounts are in the way to pull the oil plug and there's no real good way to reach the plug without pulling everything back out, #headache lol.

So I'm reaching out to the experienced community on different ways/best practices for initial startup of the engine.

I was thinking about pouring a quart into each valve head cover and letting the oil drain back down over the course of a day or so.

Any other thoughts or recommendations?

Best regards,

double
