Default Re: Cylinder head oil pockets?

The pockets are around the valve buckets, also pour some oil around the lobes of the camshafts.
Disconnect the ignition system and remove the plugs, turn the engine over with the starter in bursts until the oil pressure has built before first starting the engine.
