I decided to get some oil in it today so I got a little cheap pump that runs off of a hand drill and an oil filter block off plate. I had an old oil pressure sender which I drilled out and cleaned up. I added a mechanical pressure gauge. The end result was I pressurized the case to 25 psi with oil. Here's kind of a schematic courtesy of Haynes

I used a bolt with an O-ring to block the oil filter off so oil wouldn't back flow through it.

So now there is oil in the cooler and some in the passages prior to startup.

You so smart.... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif)
Those V-8 guys get to prime their pumps beforehand, it always made me leary turning the engine over *WAITING* for oil pressure. The first time I ever primed my 2270, I couldnt get pressure. I get out of the car to investigate, I discover a small Exxon Valdez coming out from under the engine. Genius forgot to put on his oil filter... Must have been excited from *almost* getting the car to run... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif) Carry on Dave, carry on!!! Tom |

The engine oil prime rig I made for initial start up of my full flow engine is cool..
One piece of 12" long 4" PVC pipe... One reducer from 4" to 2" One reducer from 2" to 1" One reducer from 1" to 3/8" NPT..... Then thread in the oil line that goes into the case main oil galley.. On the other end reduce it down to fityour air compressor... Fill the 4" pipe with 4 quarts of engine oil and pressureize the canister with 60 PSI..... This completely fills the sump and gets oil all the way out to the rocker arms before the engine ever rotates.... Soin the engine over to get oil flowing from the oil pump and then hook everything up and crank for pressure... You'll have it in 10 seconds- You can build this for 2 bucks and it works great!! I have a high speed stainless version now- made from an emergency eye wash station- it has valves and the whole nine yards... If anyone wants to build one of these I'll share pics with you. |
