Rig something to pump oil under pressure, or if you're handy, I used to use stuff like MT refrigerant cans, put some oil in there, pressurize with air, and pump oil through the sender port. You can wrench or bump the engine slowly over while you do this

This will prevent any compression from building. I would then use the engines' atarter to crank the engine until the oil pressure comes up. Least likly way to do damage. 1979 Chrysler 300 1968 Barracuda project
