Your First system is what is recommended by experts(not me). The assembly lube you used will protect the bearings in this period. Don't overheat the starter motor.
After 2 years sitting ,I hope you changed all the fuel and the fuel filter and purged all the fuel lines.The old gas will have gelled.The filter baskets in the injectors have a mesh size that will plug with any gelled fuel and maybe the fuel pressure regulator also.Once the engines stalls with gelled fuel it is very tedious to remove it.

Thanks. I did add fuel stabilizer. But, I suppose it's benefit must expire with time. Do you know of an easy way to drain the tank?

The usual method(Search) is to jumper the fuel pump relay with a harness that contains a fuse and a MOM switch. Very tedious.
