Don't earth it, while you only need it for a couple of months you don't want to kill the engine if it is really low.
A good working DG is worth 500 quid so you want to preserve it, change oil pump before fitting the DJ is the right thing to do so you know it's got good pressure before removing it.
Get some 20W50 in it and as said a grey switch if you don't have one.
