>Any advice. Motor is fully rebuilt with new pistons and sleeves, cam, the
fully Monty. Someone said, pour oil in it and turn it over by hand a few
times. This seems like an awful lot of work when I have a perfectly good
starter. Someone else said, pull the plugs and put some oil in there,
although I thought that would foul the plugs right off the bat. The engine
has been sitting after its rebuild about 2 1/2 months.
What does the collective wisdom have to say about popping this baby's
cherry?

What I like to do is pull the plugs, fill the crank case and turn the
engine with the starter until I get oil pressure. Then I continue to turn
for a few more minutes to make sure the whole oil system is primed. Then
go for it.
