That said, how you choose to care for your engine is entirely up to you. The smart money oil their engines.....good luck with yours.....Ron

So after injecting some oil in the glow plug hole of an engine that has been run dry, would you reinstall the glow plug and spin the engine with an electric starter? Or do you figure a couple manual turns of the prop is enough to get the oil where it needs to be?
I value opinions of people with experience - I'm still wrapping my head around the oil getting distributed inside the engine properly
Thanks!
