LS1 Engine Pre-lube (Priming)
LS1 Engine Pre-lube (Priming) Gent,
I made a pre-luber with the correct fittings....However, I just noticed the oil port in the Kent Moore instructions is blocked by the alternator (F-body set-up). Would I get the same results if I pumped oil in the back through the oil pressure sensor port?

Verdad Gallardo Ahh, I just found a link to the oil system...Looks like the location for the Kent Moore pump is most likely because its before the filter. If I pump it in on top in the OP port, it bypasses the filter....Not sure how dirty new oil can be lol...
You have to tap the oil filter "sandwich" to be able to use it...I used autometer adapter and oil pressure gauge tool...the reason my engine took so long is bc it was completely bone dry before startup and I was about .75 of a quart low I found out after. Now the oil pressure comes up quick since its "primed"...
