Is there a way to get the air out of the oil circuit before engine start-up for the 1st time after overhaul? What's the best way to prepare the engine for that 1st start? Can I just put the fuel pump on and crank it over and start her up? Should I crank the engine with the mixture set to cut-off to circulate the oil 1st?

Engine has been down for a year and I'm finally getting all the pieces back together.
