Re: Starting rebuilt engine for the 1st time
Because by doing this you're not putting any vacuum or decent cylinder pressure on the rings or rotating assembly. It's probably overkill, but it's easy to do, so why not. I always spin my oil pump with a drill with the engine on the stand, but this does the same thing. I leave the valve cover off and spin the motor until oil shoots onto the cams.
