Can you give a little more detail about using the extra oil pump housing and pre-filling the oil on the build stand please? Did you fill completely (from the top I assume)? You used the dip stick to measure as you got close to the right amount? You used the drill to load up the block while you were filling? You just swapped out the cover with the drive and the hole-less cover when you were done (messy?)?
Yes, to each of your questions This whole procedure is not really necessary, I just did it because I had an extra pump and I wanted to make sure that the variocam system is filled up because I was testing those, see the video somewheer in the thread. I saw some builders using an external pump (any kind) to fill the engine with oil via an opening of the oil circulation system, probably the heat exchanger or the oil filter inlet could be used for this. Some builders just pre-lube everything with the assembly lube and that also works, I personally don`t like that though.
