    Hi Keith.
    I was going to respond but as I dont actually know the answer I refrained!
    However.....it seems to me that you'd have to crank the engine for quite a
    while to get oil up there.Given that your engine runs at say, 500rpm at idle
    and say, 1500rpm at cruise and that one would be cranking at about 50rpm,
    and that the oil pump is designed to run at 500 to 2500....I wonder if it's
    worth the effort, or indeed if it may be harmful????
    Cheers
    Glenn.
