There should be a "Cheap Tricks" sticky and this should be in it.....

 

My Moroso pan has -10 fittings. I will pump the oil through the remote filter then to the inlet on the pan.

how did the 3/4 inch line fit on the threaded neck for the oil filter? I ask because the inlet and outlet on my HF pump is 7/8"

Thank you

 

Can anyon say whether or not this primes your lifters? Having problems checking pushrods because they keep collapsing.

 

If you have oil pressure and are turning the engine over by hand oil should fill the lifters. I have the same problem with lifters collapsing but haven't primed oil system yet.

 

So you think even turning it by hand would prime them?

 

No. Run the pump with the drill to get oil pressure, and at the same time, slowly turn the engine over by hand to allow oil to get to all the lifters.

 

Nice find and good tip op!

 

Got ya. I thought what I was saying made absolutely no sense.

 

nice thread.

 

So I learned something new today. Thanks!

 

nice!

 

Very good idea,I will be doing this to my sons motor Great Tip!!!!

 

Drill pump has been superseded with a blue one. Picked it up today and also linked this thread. Thanks.

I like this better than the garden sprayer pump method. Thanks for sharing

 

Good idea :thumbup:

 

Good tip

 

make sure the hose clamp on the oil filter pick up is very tight. It worked but I had issues with oil coming out there.

 

Pumped four qts of break-in oil at 40 psi and turned the crank until there was oil out all the pushrods. Took about 2-3 min. Here's my setup.
Worked like a champ!

 

I like what you did pushing through a remote mount filter to ensure nothing but clean oil going into the block. Added insurance. What size hose and barbs did you use? If memory serves me correct that Harbor Freight pump has a pretty large OD (like 3/4" or so) on the pump inlet and outlet. Was thinking about getting this Derale adapter but it's only got 1/2" barbs. Thanks.
