Dear Peter,

May this find you well. You're right about "most of the wear on engine rings, etc. occurs at startup". However, using a hand-crank to turn the engine, and so to circulate oil, would be inconvenient and would require considerable upper-body strength to move. It would also require passage for the crank, through the radiator and the grill.

It would be better to have a secondary, electric-powered oil pump, which pre-pressurized the oil system, so soon as the ignition key had been moved towards "start". Fuel pumps on 940s pre-pressurize the system, when the key is turned.

Yours faithfully,

spook
