Oil flow?

Alright, here"s another question...I read a how-to article on starting an engine that has been sitting a long time. I took most of the steps suggested. I removed the head, cleaned things up a bit, put some oil on the pistons and turned the engine over. Everything seems fine. The pistons were all in good shape, the valves go up and down like they are supposed to. However, I have not seen any oil anywhere. The article says make sure oil is being circulated...where I am looking for this oil? Do I need to remove the lifter covers and look in there? Sorry to sound stupid, but I have never done this before. Once I know oil is moving around properly, I"ll probaby change the oil and then do compression checks which I believe will turn out to be good.

I don't believe you can see oil
pumping by turning with the starter.
Once you put the head on and fire it
up you should see oil pressure, or
shut it down.
Of coarse you should change the oil (30 wt).

I would remove the lifter covers and look for oil in there. I would clean out any rust or crap in there too. Better to get any rust out before it gets into the crankcase. You sure don"t want rust in there when you start it up. Clean it up with solvent and wipe it down with ATF would be pretty slick. ATF is loaded with detergents and it provides some lube so it"s good for the cylinder walls or whatever you want clean and prelubed. You can remove the oil gauge tube at the brass fitting on the block to see oil flow.
