Some oil filter installations allow you to pre fill the filter with oil prior to installing. My boat has a Cummins QSB 5.9-380 and the filter is mounted open side up. The Cummins manual specifically states to fill the oil filter with fresh oil before installing.
Don't know this particular engine but hand cranking if possible until you build up oil pressure or cranking normally with decompressors engaged or cranking with engine stop engaged.
Thank you
