Priming oil system?

[cal1mr]

Here's where I stand: I just swapped to CBRD BBK and AMS oil cooler. The spark plugs are out of the head and the exhaust manifold is off the car. My plan, unless told otherwise, is to disconnect the cam sensor and crank the motor some in order to prime the galleys, turbo etc. My thinking is that with the plugs and mani off, the motor will crank nice and easy since no compression and the turbo won't spin (minimal, I know) since no mani. Oil will go where it's needed without any side stresses. Am I overlooking anything with this plan? Anything wrong with this? I did search.

Question: does fuel fire with the cam sensor disconnected? If so, should I just place rags at the holes to catch it?

Honestly, just start the car. Pour a little oil in the turbo oil feed inlet and oil cooler inlet if you want.

Yeah, but I'm still waiting on my manifold gasket so I can't start it. Come on man, I know you're rolling your eyes at my question but can we just stick to it?

unplug your crank position sensor near the oil fil cap on the back side of the valve cover,

crank the car over for about 15 seconds, 3 times, about a minute apart.

that will do what you need!!

cheers
