Use assembly lube on the bearings it protects better than plain engine oil. Don't pull the fuse and just let it crank. That can do more harm than good and slings off any of the lube you put on the bearings in the first place. Let the engine start and idle. It only takes 2-4 seconds for the engine to build full oil pressure.

If you lube the rod bearings during the job then as far as the engine is concerned it's no different than an oil change on the first startup. There's zero reason to keep it from starting.
