if you refill the high pressure oil reservior it may take about 1 or two minutes worth of cranking. but only crank for 30 seconds at a time max!! also yes you can start the truck with the valve cover off. the oil will not squirt.

the reservior is under the plastic engine cover. top front of the motor between the alt and a/c compressor. it is an aluminum housing with a allen head or 1/4 inch square drive plug in the top on the drivers side. the housing is about 2 inch by 6 inch. directly behind the housing will be the fuel filter housing.

It was funny when I did mine I just purged the cylinders 2 different times for 30 seconds with the 4 plugs disconnected with the starter after I got most of the oil/fuel out of back cylinders. Then checked the hpop res and it was still full. When I was all done double checking everything I jumped in and it started within 10 seconds.
