[s-cars] Engine Test after Loss of Oil

[Gabriel Caldwell]

What kind of noise?  There is no sense in starting an engine with a rod
bearing that is starting to go.  You'll just throw more metal shavings
throughout the engine.  Pull the oil pan first and check things out.

All,

Recap: unplanned encounter with signpost, passenger side, between
front wheel and headlight.  Took out the oil cooler resulting in oil
loss.  Had to drive about a mile to get to a pullover.  Engine making
noise toward the end.

I will have a replacement oilcooler in the next couple of days.  I
plan to mount it up and fill engine with fresh Mobil1.

Now, what is the recommended procedure to try to relubricate the
engine before actual ingnition?  Can I pull a relay for the fuel pump
and crank it?  I assume that removing plugs and turning by hand would
do little.

All thoughts welcome.
