This was the aircraft I was assigned for the evening; earlier in the evening I replaced the igniters on Number 2 engine per the work card and op checked. Next thing was to deliver the aircraft to the gate. At start of push from hangar I noticed a low oil press indication Number 2 engine; told my tug driver I wanted to dry motor the engine to see if it would go away. Just after I stopped motoring (approximately 10-15 seconds) my tug driver said the engine was on fire. By the time I started to apply emergency procedures I was notified the fire was out.Had wing walkers been properly positioned they might have been able to notify us earlier of the fire.
