I pulled the plugs and the valve cover.  When I first put oil in the car 
I left a quart out.  Just before turning the engine over for the first 
time I poured a quart down the push rods to make sure there was fresh oil 
on the cam.  Then I turned the engine over on the starter motor until my 
gauge registered pressure.

I put the plugs back in & fired the engine up.
