oil priming new crate ls3 engine

Hey Fraser, we talk again. I will have to make something up for this prelube thing. Do you plug in to the same spot as the melling video? You will have to get your 588 cube big block going. Cheers Russ

its pretty simple, fill it with 2 gallons of oil and 60psi compressed air, connect to the gallery plug. After about 5-10 mins see oil come out the rockers. If it could be done over again would have used -6 line, -4 doesn't move enough volume, slow to prime but gets the job done.
588..... someday

+1 for AES doin me a 434 warhawk with mast 305cc cyl heads.!
The preoiler is a great idea i never crank the engine with no plugs ur still effectively loading the bearings with no oil pressure cranking at 300-400 rpm! these motors pull oil pressure instantly just connect up watch the gauge it will come up right away, cranking with no plugs wont prime the pump and just will do more harm then good. Ive had them apart with no bearing marks look like new doing this. the preoiler sounds excellent though.

Howdy Joel, Wheres so phat so we can listen to more of his bullshit? lol Sounds like a good combo there and you're in good hands with AES. I sent you a pm on ls1.com.au and you blocked pms. Copping a bit of flak there? Russ

The latest Hot Rod TV featured a hand pump pre-oiler similiar to the GM professional unit for half the price. It's made by Motive Products. It's called the Power Fill Pro 1 gallon. Here is the website:

Car Craft built their own. Seems a little jerry-rigged but works great also.
