You will know when the oil pressure light goes out or the guage starts showing working pressure.

Plugs back in and start the car!

100% agreement but don't underestimate the access is tricky to plugs on the Zetec engine

1 Getting the plugs out is OK if they come out with the spanner, otherwise it might take a while to "snare" them with a piece of tubing over the insulator

2 Getting the plug back in generally calls for them to "held" in the same plastic tubing, so you can start the thread by hand.

Easy.....a couple of years ago I bought a a job lot of tools from a retiring aircraft mechanic, mostly his sheet metal forming tools but also his magnetiser/demagnnetiser.

So I simply magnetise the spark plug socket and then demagnetise it when the job is done.....
