You don't have to do anything with Timing..just make sure the Dots line up properly.

There really is no way to Prime the Oil Pumps in these.. I unplug the Fuses for the Coils and Injectors, turn it over a few times with the Starter before starting it.

there is a brass plug in the side of the block inline with the oil pump at the front of the block drivers side. you can get a priming take, and prime the engine from there. also you can use the oil pressure sending unit hole at the back top of the block.
