Get the oil pressure up without running the cam shaft? Well, I guess you don't, so what is the best way to do initial start up on a rebuilt 230 flathead? It is the original 230 ready to go back in my '53 B3-126 PW. It has 20-50 oil in it and the cam has special break-in lube, etc. I just like to see some oil pressure before I fire up a new engine. Any advice welcome.
