Must have missed it but, at my age, you miss a LOT of things :-( Cranking
he motor while the coil wire is disconnected at either end builds up oil
pressure
but doesn't the oil but not the pistons. Good habit to get into when doing
oil and
filter change. I got this into my routine back when I had muscle cars of
the 70s.
Biggest wear is when the motor is first started. Helps to reduce the wear
if there's
some oil up at the piston rings :-P I crank until the dummy oil light went
out,
then hook the coil wire back up and start up.
