Priming New Engine Im sorry for a repeat thread, but i need help. I read one time before about someone using a insect sprayer from walmart to prime engine with. Can someone help me out with details of what exactly to buy & where to hook it up to on my block to prime bearings & lifters & all?
If you assembled with assembly lube you should be good. You'll build pressure almost instantly when it starts.
I just let the starter kick mine over in 3-5 second bursts to not destroy the starter and to prime the oil pump with the fuel injectors and ignition unplugged. It fired right up.

This is a good way of doing it, its called a pre luber. A pressurized system which gets the oil throughout the engine/crevices. You can do it like others listed, but this is a reusable system and preferred method by most builders.
