have done this a few times to non-performance engines ... if you're really worried about damage, just fill the case right up, pull out the plugs and disable the fuel system then crank the engine over to get the diesel thruout the oil system.
if you're brave, you can run the engine with just the diesel as the lubricant - tho i would avoid putting to much load on the engine (e.g. idle it to get it warm then shutdown and dump)
of the engines i've done this to - TV cortina, 6cyl valiant, GC galant - none had issues with seals or seemed to suffer from this at all. They all died from excessive use combined with piss-poor maintenance.
don't bother flushing with cheap oil afterwards - simply allow engine to stand and drain.
