low oil pressure?

[peter at thescirocco.com (Peter)]

You can pre-lube the engine with the timing belt off of the intermediate 
gear, and run it until it's pressurized.

I have a special tool, that my friend Dan aka BFDEIHL made for me, it uses a 
2L 16V oil pump drive gear, and he welded a 13mm hex-nut onto it.
You remove the o'le distributor clamp, that holds the round puck, that 
covers the oil pump drive. Lift them both out of the way, you pull the oil 
drive gear out with a strong magnet, and put the modified oil pump drive 
gear on, and run it with a drill. You don't have to touch the timing belt 
with this type of pre-lube tool.

I'm not preachin' or braggin' about my tool, I'm just giving you the info 
you need to make your own pre-lube tool.
