John-

I understand your concern about the engine running without oil; if you keep the RPMs low I think the oil will circulate quickly after starting.

Seems to me an old car that starts on the first turn of the engine APPEARS like a much better engine than one that needs to be turned many times before starting.

I agree high RPMs right after starting will cause problems, because oil hasn't had a chance to circulate.

What do you think of the low RPM idea of circulating oil vs. cranking without starting?
