putting oil in the oil filter

Of the s2k's I've worked on (over 150) they all COULD make a sort of "engine with no oil sound" after an oil change. What I do is crank the engine for 5 short individual bursts, about 4 revolutions per cycle. The trick is to let go of the start button before the engine fires. After that, the engine will start noise-free.
Another method is to pull the fuel pump fuse and crank it for 5-8 seconds.
The way I see it, you motor is better off turning 100 rpm's than 1300 at start-up, with no oil PSI.

We would first fill thge oil filter, then crank the engine with the coil wire disconnected until the OP gauge registered. Then we would connect the wire and start it up.

94 Tbird = hydraulic lifters. What you were probably experiencing was the lifters themselves being pressurized so for a few moments after an oil change your valves would tap. It was nice never having to adjust valves on my parents Tbird, but damn the noise got annoying.
I don't remember reading about anyone complaining of this with the S2000 but I may have missed it. I was just curious if the S2000 was prone to this, hence the question! Thanks to all who responded.
