Hey SouNguy, 2 Quick ??'s

Just made a new oil pump this week end to inject fluid into transmissions and transfer cases. BTW you do not prime a pick up tube, he he

Yep my table is a mess, more of a mess when my Pepsi spit bottle gets turned over.

I used an old Freon cannister that looks to be about four or five quarts capacity. I drilled a hole in it to braze in a one inch pipe fitting that can be plugged with a one inch plug. Then I brazed in a fitting to receive a Shrader air valve to pressureize the tank. From the Freon tank valve I added a 1/4" high pressure line to adapt to a fitting on the oil gallery or the pressure gauge tap on the engine.

Pour in about a quart of engine oil. Replace the plug where you poured in the oil. Pressurize the tank with at least 50 PSI air pressure. Connect the line from the tank to the oil pressure fitting at the block and turn on the tank valve to allow the oil to go into the oil gallery.
The Freon tank must be inverted so the oil can come out at the valve.

Works great.

Thanks to Hobo for this idea!

As fro how long.. that depends ont he engine and the pump.

My N will start building pressure on the gauge after about ? 8 seconds of starting. IE.. if i forget to turn the key or gas on and roll it over about 4 seconds.. and then do it again.. at that point my needle starts bobbing off the lower pin. My 134 /660 and 172/850 OHV engines build it faster than that. My 172 will build oil usually right while it is kicking in.. that engine usually takes a good 4 seconds to start.

My NAA will drip oil out of the disconnected capilar line almost immediatly when you run the starter over.. it has about 50 psi hot or cold. the other ohv's i have go between 35 hot idle to 40-55 cold idle.. etc..

I'd expect you may need to do a few crankem cycles to get meaningfull oil to the gauge.. I'd leave the line at the gauge cracked too. Don't zing it all in one shot. let the starter rest for a bit between crankem attempts.

Also.. realize that your oil canister and system is 'after' the bearings.. IF.. your engine gets oil first.. then it goes to the filter.. etc.. partial flow system.. etc..
