Pour oil into the outer hole in the filter adapter.
I have a remote filter unit with the filter hanging down.
Easy for filling the filter. Hard to pour oil up the hole. :)
Should I remove the bolts so I can rotate it?

push in on each apex seal to be sure none are stuck in the rotor.
What if they are?

Disconnect the oil pressure sender line at the gage.
I have electric sender. Remove it?

Adjust the throttle system to fully closed butterflies.
Make sure both return springs are fully functional.
Push pull cable. I'm thinking of doing this with the prop off (keeping the
revs down).
Any problems there?

Squirt in some fuel from your specially marked oil can.
This is a turbo. Where do I squirt the fuel?

Turn on the ignition
(timed at 20 degrees BTDC total).
I don't see a way to alter the timing mechanically. This is a third gen with
two round sensors next to a trigger on the end of the E shaft.

Thanks for all the input. I have mirror and beer ready.
Regards,
John
