I can only suggest that you first ask your engine provider these
questions.
They warrant the engine and their answers are the ones to use. If their
instruction are not clear to you, get the answers from them.

Spin the engine means use the starter. Pull the coil wire and ground it.
Disconnect the AFM. Then turn the key and activate the starter for 5
seconds. Let is rest for 10 seconds. Hit the starter again for 5
seconds.
Repeat until the oil pressure light goes off. Then reconnect the AFM and
coil wire and fire it up.
