    I picked up a reman motor and i am about to drop it in. My question is how can i move some oil through it for the first start up. I'm figuring the oil pump is behind the front cover like most imports so there is not anything i can turn to prime it. I was looking at the oil pressure sensor and possibly pulling it out and pushing some oil through there and turn the motor over at the same time.

    any thoughts ?

    How about just pulling a fuse for the fuel pump or any fuse/relay that would prevent it from starting, then cranking it with the starter to prime the engine.
