I mainly do it to avoid the chain tensioner rattle which makes me cringe worse than nails on a blackboard.

It may not be the best or only way ..but I've done it for years

I actually called haibeck and he had guided me to do something similar, only it was only 1 fuse I pulled that disabled the injectors. I then pulled the spark plugs out and after maybe 10 seconds of cranking I finally started building oil pressure.
