making oil pressure prior to start-up
Well the time is near. I am about to drop the modified B18C1 into my 97HB. My question concerns lubrication. ALL bearing surfaces have been coated with assembly lube during assembly but I would feel a whole bunch better if I could build oil pressure prior to initial engine startup. Is there any way to force oil through the engine without actually starting it? If not I may try pulling the plugs and backing off the valve adjusters (no contact with valve stems) to minimize turning force and try spinning the crank with a 600rpm very powerful 1/2" drill. Any ideas or comments on my plan will be greatly appreciated.
