It'd be nice, but the bearings already have a oil film on them from the last time the car ran. If your oil isn't old and lost it's viscosity, it should cling to internal parts pretty nicely. That would explain why our motors consistently can go 200K miles without being rebuilt. Bearing materials, build quality and better oils have improved tremendously since the 60's, when 100K miles was considered a good time to rebuild if it made it that far.

I don't know how long it takes from the point the oil pump spins til the number four bearings see ~80 psi of oil pressure. Probably less than a second.
