Default Need to "prime" oil pump?

I just repaired a damaged ring gear in my 59A. The repaired engine is installed and ready to try and start for the first time. Before I crank on the starter, is it necessary to "prime" the oil pump, with a few rotations by hand, in order to lubricate the engine? It seems dangerous to crank on a "dry" engine.

Thank you,
Phil
