Hi listers,

The tub on my TR-3A is out for paint and the engine and drive train are 
bolted to the chassis and the exhaust system is installed.

The brake lines are strung to the 4-way distribution fitting on the right 
side of the chassis and the fuel line is strung only needing to be finished 
at the tank.

I took the engine apart and inspected everything 6 years ago. When all looked 
OK, I decarbonised the head, lapped the valves and put it together again.

I want to fire the engine up before the body gets back and I have a few 
questions:

1) Is there a way to pre-charge the engine with oil before I crank it over

2) Where can I best hook up an oil pressure gauge to monitor pressure.

3) If anyone has done this before, is there anything that I should watch out 
for.
