Many people recommend pulling the distributor and using an oil-pump primer (you can rent them at most any chain auto parts store). First change the oil. Ideally, start with the engine at TDC. Then, using a drill attached to the primer, run the pump for about 2 minutes. Rotate the crank 180 degrees, repeat. Do this two more times, and you will have forced oil through all the journals points with the cam and crank at all positions.
