In order to prime the engine youcan either 1. unplug the coil and crank it over or 2. Use an air ratchet on the crank pulley and turn the motor over several times. I personally have always just unplugged the coil and cranked it. The purpose of this is to get oil into all parts of the motor, and turbo without the strain of the engine running. Should be done after every turbo replacement/removal as well.

Just do not crank it for a long time . 5-10 seconds a crank . Do this several times .

The first time i fire a new engine, i install it without the timing belt and cover. I fill the engine with oil and prime the engine by spinning the oil pump pulley with my electric impact gun.

alright....well its not a new engine its a 6bolt im pulling out of a 90rs-t so its lubbed

Well if its a used motor and you didnt do any internal work on it. I would just put oil in...unplug the coil pack crank it over a few times then plug the coil back in and let her rip!

Yea, if you don't prime the engine, at least do it for the turbo's sake.
