Fill the oil pump with oil. Remove the banjo bolt on the oil pipe and 
pour some oil down there. It doesn't take much so keep an eye out as not 
to oil up the side of the block. (don't ask ;)
Also I like to use a 5/30 oil to break it in. Run it for 20 minutes at 
various RPMs, then change the oil and filter to 20/50.
Do it again at 500 miles when you retorque the head and adjust the valves.
