i dont think that cranking the starter is the way to go. I dont see any benefit unless you use something other than the factory oil pump.

When you crank the motor, you crank the motor. It doesnt matter if the injectors and/or plugs are firing. you are still cranking the motor over.

i wouldnt worry about the sudden jump to 750rpm either. when you start your car, it makes a few rotations at 250rpm before it fires anyway, then catches and swings up to 750-1000. i think that the starting process already does just as good of a job getting oil to the rest of motor as your idea would.

A seperate pump run electrically might do something, but is it even remotely worth it?
