Default using pressurized oil pot

I had a late model Mercury FH rebuilt about five years ago but haven't found the time to get the vehicle it was intended for finished. I rotated it occasionally using the crankshaft pulley nut but lately it won't rotate and I'm afraid of putting too much force to the crankshaft nut. I also am afraid of using the starter to turn it in case the ring gear or starter might get chewed up. Another FH enthusiast has suggested I use a pressurized oil pot to force oil throughout this engine to see if that helps. I do have access to an oil pot but don't know where the best place to connect the output to accomplish the best lubrication possible by this method. I am thinking of removing the oil pressure sensor and hooking the pot to that fitting. Is there a better fitting to use? I am thanking all in advance for any input/ideas.
