Re: Oil priming

["MO ( Steve Mick)" <micher@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Here is my theory. --hang oil container above the engine. .Run a line from 
there to the lowest pont on the block that enters the oil system, probably 
the oil sender fitting.  As the oil seeks its own level , it will fill from 
the bottom -up.  Occasionally turn the engine crank, to open any passages 
that at certain rotation-is blocked.  When oil is freely emitting from the 
highest point of the engine ( probably the rocker arms) the system should be 
full with oil. Sounds like it otta work, but I think I will use the drill 
and primer rod. and a pressure guage......................MO

I went through all my old Don D messages I saved too but no luck. I
thought it might be through the oil pressure opening. I may give it a
try.
