With the oil filter in place, we could now add some oil and give the engine a few spins. The main reason for doing this was to make sure the oil pump was circulating the oil properly.
After filling the engine up with oil so that the oil level read at least "min" on the dipstick, we jumped the starter to Chris' truck battery and let the engine spin a bit. Soon we realized that the oil pressure switch was not present and oil would spurt out this hole while the engine was running. (I wish I had gotten a video of this.) As a quick fix to this problem, Fred plugged up the hole with a #2 pink pencil.

In the picture below, you can just see oil start to spurt through the rocker assembly.
