Uhhh what?

With this logic, you're basically saying doing a compression test is harmful.

You do realize the whole idea is the build some oil pressure without load. The oil doesn't "fling off".

To be completely realistic, assembly lube AND cranking without firing the motor ahead of time are not necessary.


This is standard practice by most car brands in any repair procedures and also used by just about anyone involved in racing.

It's not harmful. That is complete non sense. You sounded very competent to me on here until now.


I'm done trying to help out on here
I'm not sure what Dean means either but let's give him the benefit of the doubt. He may think there aren't enough revs without starting it to move a meaningful amount of oil, not sure. I think we can all agree the goal is to avoid revs without parts being lubed.
