Jack,

Before you crank it over on the starter with the plugs removed, remove the 
banjo bolt from the oil line fitting on the side of the block and prime the oil 
pump.  You should also pre-fill the oil filter before installing.  Filling the 
oil line on the side of the block at this time too couldn't hurt.  Anything you 
can do to minimize the time it's cranking over on just assembly lube will help.
