Default Need to crank over engine. How?

Hi, I'm just about to fit a new turbo and I will need to crank over the engine on the key to bleed/clear the new oil supply line. I need to pump out 1/2 pint. How do i immobilise the injection so it doesn't pour neat fuel into the cylinders why cranking over?

Thanks

I'm not sure if this is a wind up but I'll play along.

Just unclip the connectors on each injector

Another way to do it so you don't have to turn the engine is remove dizzy and use a 6mm or 1/4" allen key in a drill to turn the oil pump

As Monster says take injector plugs off and i would remove plugs crank untill clean oil comes thru about half litre will be fine.

Refit oil supply to turbo and crank again. Refit plugs and injector plugs fire up. Check for leaks and oil preesure if you have gauge.

I would still disconnect injectors to avoid bore wash.
