Agreed; the first start after FOES rework is nerve-wracking!

When I did mine, I pulled the fuel pump relay and the coil wire and cranked and cranked and cranked until I had 5-bar on the oil pressure gauge. Then I illuminated each seal, looking for any weepage.

There was none, so I plugged the fuel pump back in, and the coil wire, and it started on the first pull.

No leaks!

(Of course, I do have an oil-cooler gasket leak that's driving me crazy; your thread about changing the oil cooler seals without pulling the headers has inspired me to take on this chore after the holidays!)
