Jim,...he built a low buck pre oiler that is really cool, I am going to build one for my next motor. The thing is more or less some PCV pipe with a screw on cap on one end and hose to connect to the oil galley and another to put a few pounds of air pressure to force the oil into the motor. Very cool idea and well worth the few bucks to build it for the peace of mind.
That's interesting.
I'm half way into building an engine test stand, so I can do the startup on a new rebuild (break-in the cam, check for leaks and so on before installation). I would like to think about how a pre-oiler could be build for our Alpine engines. I like that idea. I especially want to make sure oil gets up into the rocker arms. That seems to take the longest time too.
