Mike you will be told to pull the distributor and spin the oil pump with a 
flat bladed shaft.  OK advise as far as it goes.  Pull the plugs and spin 
the motor till a minute or two after the pressure comes up.  That way you 
will not just be charging the oil system but you will also be throwing oil 
all over the place inside the engine.  Then do a normal start.

Ok the weather here in Michigan is terrific. And the vair with recently 
rebuilt engine, new lifters etc is ready to fire up for the first time since 
November. Battery is fully charged. Fresh gas in the tank  now before I turn 
the key.  What is the best way to start up after a long rest?  I've been 
told to pull the coil wire and crank til the lifters have lubricated or 
"pumped up". Others feel I should simply start normally and let it smooth 
out over a time of idling. What's the consensus?
