How to oil prime an LT1 Just wondering, I've got a 95 Z28, that hasn't been started for about a year and half. What I need to know is how I can turn the oil pump to lubricate the motor and crankcase before attempting to start it the first time?
Pull the coil wire and pull he two fuel injector fuses from the underhood fuse box. Crank the engine over for about 10-15 seconds, his should build the pressure. Repeat the process as long as you allow some time for the starter to cool off since this will get it toasty.
You could even pull the oil pressure sensor and look for oil if you are really concerned.
Replace wire and fuses and fire it up, you should be fine.
