[Roadsters] Oil pump primer

[Pat Horne]

You need to turn just the oil pump. This procedure was documented a 
decade or more ago in the archives.

The tool you need is just an over-sized screwdriver bit. You can make 
one out of a metal rod with some rubber hose over it to keep it sort of 
centered.

Peace,
Pat
