I've been working on My car for over a year now. It's just about done, but the engines(GM V-6) been sitting all that time and I'm guessing it should be pre-oiled before starting it again, but I don't have a distributor shaft to do so. Is there another way? How much damage am I likely to do if I don't pre-oil it(it's still filled w/Mobile 1)? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif)

I used a pre-oiler that my engine builder sold me for a nominal fee. Fits in the distributor hole and you spin it with a drill. Pre-oiling is a great way to find out whether all the oil galley plugs were installed by the engine builder. It's also best if you do it while the engine is out of the car and not in your freshly painted engine bay.
