Tom, I don't know if it's necessary, but before starting a new engine or one that's sat for a few years I pull the plugs at the nose end of the oil gallery and pump oil in there. Next I pull one plug from each cylinder and crank for 15 seconds, wait 30 seconds and crank for 15 secs .... until I get oil pressure. Crack the fitting on the carb and run the aux pump until you get fuel. Set everything for start and have at it. Now, if you're just worried about air in the sensor lines ..... don't. The air will make the reading 'spongy', but in short order .... pressure is pressure. Depending on where you have the fuel pressure sensor hooked up, the air will dampen pulses from the mechanical pump that will destroy sensors or gauges over time.

It is the template that I have adapted to use for my annual condition inspections and works quite well.
