They had them before the 2nd World War.
There are a few engines nowadays that might not like the early flow of high pressure oil.....Audi and VW 1.8 turbos for two.
These engines have a habit of over pressurizing the valve lash adjusters and bending the tiny valves on start up.....but in it's defense, it is usually a jambed oil pressure relief valve that does this on the stock equipped engine.....nasty
If the oil pressure was less than 30 psi, I suppose it wouldn't hurt.
