I would not warm it up without water in it. Only needs block sealer if it leaks. You can achieve oil pressure by cranking it with the plugs out. If it's 6volt a 12 volt battery will turn it faster. Try getting some oil in the cylinders a few days in advance as you don't want it all over your engine (plugs out)
