Correct me if I am wrong, but on the B engine, can't you prime the oil pump 
by hand pumping oil into the engine via the line to the oil preasure guage?  
A mechanic told me that that was an easier way to prime it than to crank a 
plug-less engine.

I am about to start a rebuilt engine myself and would be interested to know 
if this approach is considered acceptable.
