Re: Pre oiling an engine - 1939 six

I'm working on 1931 myself and getting ready to start it. A couple weekends ago, I filled the crankcase with fresh oil, removed the plugs and turned it over by hand about 200 revolutions or so. To check oil pressure, I disconnected the oil pressure line that goes to the dash and confirmed, with a little oil dribbling from the line, that I was getting pressure. If oil is getting there, then I have to believe I'm getting it to the mains as well.
