I am almost ready to test my engine but have a few questions.

Where do you fill the oil from? Also I assume the oil pump needs to be primed so what is best orientation of motor when filling and where to fill (oil gallery?)
Or can I flip engine upside down and fill from oil drain pipe? (Basically, what is the oil filling procedure?)

After engine is filled with oil, plans say motor the engine with starter motor for 30 minutes and making sure the pressure is 10 psi. I'm assuming don't need coolant filled yet because I'm not sparking/running engine

Also, what is procedure for filling coolant to make sure coolant pump is primed?

Any help is much appreciated
