Might not hurt to change the oil.
Oh yeah, that's on my list. As soon as winter loosens its grip on my part of the world, I'll pull the oil pump & distributor, move the oil pump shaft one tooth, remount everything in the way the pic I located too late indicates, and mount the other valve cover. Then I'll see if it starts & develops oil pressure.

It's gonna be a while though-- 6" of snow on the ground, and no real warmup in sight.
