Just installed my 6-bolt and curious on the best way to check if it is getting oil pressure before i fire it up. Looking through the oil cap while cranking (coil unplugged )there seems to be no way to see if its getting oil. What is the best way to go about this. Take valvecover off....?

This is on a built motor, that was already running. So the initial system was primed ..
 
I Personally take the valve cover off. You also may want to take the turbo drain off and make sure that is oiled too.
