230 oil priming the engine

[Rob]

So I primed the pump on my new rebuilt motor. I want to prime the block. The motor has been sitting for about 3 years. It was built by a good shop, I did inspect and they did a good job of covering the cam with grease. I don’t want to turn the motor to get oil pressure if the grease is dried up some even with the spark plugs out. Question is, can I prime the motor from the filter inlet line to get oil to the crank and cam ? I don’t have an old oil pump to take the gear off of to go that route. Thanks

The oil pressure sender location would be my choice.

Sounds good That’s why I’m asking, never have tried this so just checking. Thanks
