Re: pre-oiling. Witnessed a Winston Cup Car mechanic last week working on a Cup Car 'cause the owner was too large to do the work himself inside the cockcpit
: . He needed to start this said car [for a short blast to check ignition for safety switch install] and asked me when it last ran. I said, "2 weeks ago". He cranked for 5-7 seconds with no ignition 'til he saw
oil pressure, then fired her right up. If we had been running a race, the full pre-heat, pre-
oil would have been done, but this applies to a 90% all out 358CID race motor.
