I wish!
On my only 5 speed, (The Racer) I put it in neutral with the ignition and fuel pump switches turned off, and without pushing the clutch, I spin the engine for about a minute, (best guess) to get the oil pumping, with this 140k mostly stock (temporary) engine, (until I can install the new engine with the Eagle rods and the CP pistons) and after a minute, click on the ignition and fuel pump. It starts and instantly goes up to 80 psi, until it warms up.
By the time I install the new engine I will have it figured out. I hope.
