Can you actually roll the car backwards while it's in a 'forward' gear?

Subject: Re: [Mgs] no oil pressure
Disconnect the large oil hose from RR corner of engine block. Input oil here
as you rotate engine backward (use 4th gear and roll car backward with spark
plugs removed). With one pint of oil installed this way the oil pump will be
full and will pump. It may still require up to 30 seconds of cranking to fill
the oil cooler and hoses and filter before you see pressure on the gauge.
