I would not even test fire the engine before dropping the oil pan and cleaning out the sludge, and cleaning behind the valve covers. Remember there is no oil filter before the bearings and you could push alot of junk into the bearings.

You could also pre lube the the engine and turn it over with the plugs out until the oil pump primes and the pressure on the oil gauge rises.
