Angier,

When I started my new engine after several years of storage, I used mineral o=
il to the dipstick full mark,  filled the oil filter, pulled one spark plug e=
ach cylinder, turned on the crankcase heater, then cranked the engine , with=
 grounded mags, until I had oil pressure.

Good luck

Bill H
