Don't just turn the motor over to turn it over, all of the bearing surfaces are dry...you need to get it running asap to make oil pressure.

If you feel the need to turn it over, pull the plugs and add one oz of oil to each cylinder. Next pull the distributer and run the oil pump with a long screw driver shaft attached to an electric drill (to get oil pressure), then turn it over. You now have oil feeding the rod bearings.

Good luck getting it running. I had a 1935 207 that I could hand crank to start it, but it had 75K miles on it...

Don't forget to add ZDDP to your oil during break in...
