unhook the coil packs and turn the motor over till the oil pressure jumps up to normal level. easiest way. Just make sure you turn it over for about 10-15 secs at a time.

The way it sounds to me is that you guys are saying to almost start the cat, just w/o spark and fuel so bascillay just Cranking the motor via the starter?

i used a thing that the shop that had built my engine built up. It was basically a small freon bottle, that had a cap on the top that you could hook up an air hose to. Then there was a hose that came out, and we made an adapter to go into where the oil pressure sending unit goes. Then pumped a couple quarts through it. The other way is probably easier though.
