Hi Josh, We always prelubed an engine prior to startup. We put a pipe tee in the block where the
oil pressure gauge goes and used a pressure vessel
to force oil throughout the engine until oil pressure is shown on the gauge. We coated the bearings with lubi-plate and with engine oil too.
We oiled the cylinders and pistons with a heavy coating of oil.

On some engines I've removed the distributor and spun the oil pump with a drill motor. Always prime the oil pump prior to installing it on the engine. Some foreign engines
have the prelube feature that they use every day
prior to starting the engine. Good Luck, Hal
