Does anyone prime the oil system before starting to prevent wear on the camshafts, bearings and rings.

One tip is to put assembly lube on the camshaft and cylinder walls to help prevent dry start.

I hear alot of times when people do a valve job. The engine starts buring more oil and end up needing rings. the blame is placed on the valve job causing more vacuum or something when what may have happen is dry startup which cause the rings to wear.
