Pre-oil proceedure

[Helicopter]

I have a 351 Cleveland 2bbl.  I had a machine shop to the rebuild (I wanted it done right so I didn't do it myself).

For the pre-oil, looking down from the top which direction is the oil pump shaft turned?

I have an ohm meter attached to the oil pressure switch and tried turning counterclockwise.  The switch turns off but it doesn't "feel" right when I turn it.

    Is it clockwise or counter-clockwise?

Counter-clockwise.

Counter

When prelubing make sure and turn the engine over by hand in increments to make sure all oil passages align and all parts are lubricated
