[Shotimes] coming out of long-term storage

[James F. Ryan III]

When I get home (if I get home) the SHO will finally come out of its year
long hibernation.  Engine has not been started during that time.

Question #1:  what's the best way to prime the engine to build oil pressure?
I'm thinking - disable the ignition (and crank the starter), but what's the
best way to accomplish this?  Unplug the DIS connectors?


Question #2:  how do I know if or when I've built up the proper oil
pressure?


Question #3:  I'm a little worried about the synchros in the trans.  My car
is a 6/91 build.  Do I have paper/fiber or brass?  If I have the
paper/fiber, what are the symptoms of dried out synchros?


Finally, any other systems and/or noises I should pay close attention to
when I take it out for its first drive?
