Apart from that? There are some other ways, but they are reasonably drastic.

by this, i think yellorolla means that you rev the crap out of the engine while it has little if any oil pressure and wait for it to:
a- sounds like a chaff cutter
b- seize the crankshaft and any other oiled bearing surfaces
c- die and transform into a boat anchor

... at which point you realise that you should have fixed this before re-assembling the motor?

seriously: what he suggests (long screwdriver bit in drill to run oil pump) is a good idea following engine rebuilding as you can get oil to all the bearing surfaces in the car before turning over the motor. i did this prior to firing up my RA40 for the first time so i didn't have to worry about oil pressure.

this trick only works if your oil pump is driven off the end of the dizzi.
