I know this works on Pontiac engines, and I think it will work on Chevy's, too. Take the handle off a blade screwdriver, and put the driver in your drill chuck. Take out the distributor, and put the blade down the hole until it contacts the oil pump shaft. Turn on the drill motor, and build up some oil pressure for about a minute. Now your bearings are primed with oil, so they won't start up dry. I would also put some oil in the cylinders, too, as others have mentioned.
