Priming your oiling system won't cause any problem.
There isn't enough oil spash to effect the sealant and there won't be any crankcase pressure buildup either.
I always prime until I see oil squirting from each rocker arm with NO air coming out. This calls for intermittently and manually turning the engine as I prime.

Another option is to disconnect your coil, pull the fuel injector fuse, and crank the motor over until the oil pressure comes up (that's what I did for my heads/cam swap - which may be different due to the rod and main bearings already having oil in them...)
