Re: Oil priming

[Mike and Linda <miclinmopar@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Its always better to pump oil with the oil pump and a rod.  Its easy enough 
to make one from a spent drive.
I run a drill motor and have the oil sending unit out.  When I see the oil 
at the threads, I stop and put in a plug. You could put in a gauge if you 
want.

I keep the oil pump turning, then have an assistant rotate the motor over a 
few times slowly, and leave it parked at TDC on #1.
