On #1 I would not fill the cylinders with Mystery Oil or any oil. I've found that too much oil in the cylinders can lead to carbon buildup. I would suggest a squirt or two of diesel fuel that is ~ 10% (or so) oil.

At step #4 look at the oil pressure gauge and ensure that you have some oil pressure. Once you start the engine make sure that you have good oil pressure A.S.A.P.
