I went to Ace Hardware for a screwdriver that I could destroy and use in my drill to turn the oil pump. I didn't feel like cutting up one of my old friends, so the new guy took it like a real trooper. I added 5 quarts of Valvoline and started the test. At first I didn't see any oil up top and was wondering how long it takes. After 20-30 seconds I could see some oil and then more. I ran it until I could see oil come out the hole on top of each rocker. I believe I should be good to test start. Oh, I did pick up an EverStart battery from Walmart - Group 35, 640 CCA. It fits in the battery tray nicely.
