pumping oil thru a non running engine? short story is motor has been sitting since 2009. looked at what i can with an endoscope and everything looks good. but...
how would someone pump oil thru a non running engine (like an accusump) so you can turn the motor over with a drill to pre lube everything before restarting.
i lubed the cylinders and turned over with a drill for 10-20 secs but dont wanna toast a bearing.
i have a few ideals how to pressurizer the oil but where would the input be?

You put a threaded fitting in one of those oil galley plugs and pressurize a tank of oil with air behind it. It'll pre lube everything. I think I saw agearhead4life on youtube do a vid on this. Its very simple.
Agreed yeah his video has the best and budget friendly setup.
Get the fitting that screws into the front of the engine. Then go to Home Depot and buy a $9 sprayer that you would use to spray trees etc. Cut the little spray end off, connect it to your fitting, and pump it up. I would send you mine but the shipping is more than it would cost you to make it. The gauge read 20 psi using that sprayer.
