Ron,
There are more drastic things like spinning the oil pump shaft with an electric
drill. But, I just removed the spark plugs and made sure I had a freshly
charged battery. I then deprssed the clutch and cranked the engine. I only
did it for maybe 8 seconds at a time with a rest for 15secs. Otherwise you may
damge your starter. This will start to fill up the engine oilways.
After about 5-6 cycles cycles, the oil pressure showed up on the dash gauge.
Boy did that feel good.
Just one simple way to do it.
