oil

heard some talk about this, wondering if its true

back in the 80's when mechanics did an oil change on a turbo equipt car, they ran the engine over a couple of times to rebuild up oil pressure before actually starting it (pulling wire off dist) so that the oil would return to the turbo and the bearings wouldn't run w/o oil while the vehicle was building up pressure on its own... is this true

and does it effect us? i've never read anything about it on here.

Yes, it is true.
It's cheap insurance.
