    If you want to lube up the valve train first, pull the valve cover and pour a litre of oil over them. if you have enough oil in the engine I wouldn't worry about the bottom end. If you have let the oil leak down from the cylinders after filling them they are oiled. Caution is great, but pull the plugs and turn it over with the starter for a few seconds, that will get the oil up through the pump and into the passages, put the plugs back in and then stat up.

      It runs off the clutch. You can turn the crank by hand to get oil on the top end or just take off the valve cover and pour oil directly into the head.
