how do I turn over the 360 without the engine starting

[birdseye]

Its used so infrequently I would prefer the oil to have got through before the engine starts. So what do I do?

You can remove the spark plugs then use the starter. No plugs = no compression, so the engine will turn over quicker, and oil everything up without serious loads on anything. I do this on aeroplanes, but not sure if a Ferrari will decide the world is about to end and gift you every warning light and fault code under the sun

My world will come to an end trying to get at all the spark plugs! There has to be an easier way

Can you just pull the fuel pump relay/fuse? That’s more a question than a firm suggestion.

I'll have a go and report back

I just used to turn mine over with the immobiliser active although I believe some cars won’t turn over if immobilised?

The immobiliser enables the start relay ... or if you have an F1, the F1 TCU enables the start relay after its logic has been satisfied (if the immobiliser has also given the ok).

Pulling the fuel pump relays should do the job. The injectors probably won't open due to insufficient fuel rail pressure. The spark plugs will fire.

The fuel pump relays are powered by the LH Motronic and RH Motronic fuses. i.e. not the "+15" Motronic fuses. It would be interesting to see if pulling these fuses allows the engine to crank (as the fuses affect lots of other things)
