Don't skip that first step or you may end up blowing the shop rags off the head and blasting your friend in the face with oil. You will further owe him a new shirt and will have to powerwash the oil off the side of the house/garage. (don't ask).
Also, some oil will remain in the cylinders or get pushed into the exhaust, so don't be alarmed when it smokes like an old steam locomotive for the first 10-20 miles.
