Message	If you use assembly lube and such during the build you shouldn't need to prime. Fill up the oil filter with oil, add oil to the engine and start the car. If the pressure doesnt come up within a few seconds shut it down as you have an issue. Even turning it over without starting it wont matter or help much. You'll end up turning it over more than just starting it and letting it do its thing.
