That's what would worry me...that fact that the cooler and hoses will take a few seconds to prime and if your system is like mine that means no oil pressure.
At the end of the day why take the risk, it will take your at most an hour to fabricate the rod and carry out the work, you can sleep easy knowing that your bearings are OK.
