Is there a way that I can pre-oil/pressurize the oil channels in my engine (IO 540) without turning the engine over with starter (without spark plugs)?
The engine has not run for a long time and I assume the oil that could drain has drained.
I was thinking that I can add oil to the sump and manually "roll" the engine in all directions to splash oil all over the inside. That will get some oil on the cam lobes and lifters and accessory case gears etc, but none to bearings or bushings.
Thanks.
