The oil pump is positive displacement type, which means that will make oil flow through the whole system at any rotational speed.
If you rotate the engine enough times, by hand or with the starter (don't crank longer than 15 seconds each time and let the motor cool down), there is no need to dissemble the top.
As you know, the engine should be hand rotated with a tool inserted through the alternator cover access plug and
always in the normal direction of rotation.
I would also dissemble, clean and lubricate the CCT and add some drops of oil to the top of the pistons through the spark plugs hole.
A flat screwdriver inserted through the oil-filler port can separate the clutch discs, if you are careful and do it all around one rotation of the clutch.
