[TR] TR4 Oil Pump Priming

[J.C. Hassall]

Jim, you can spin the pump CCW using a distributor gear drive shaft with the
key removed.  Kinda diddly process, since aligning the diet gear afterwards
can be fiddly.  I did a YouTube video years ago, which is out there somewhere.
Spinning the engine without the plugs works too, but it'll take a while to see
pressure.

Contact me offline if you want more info.
