LS1 oil priming device
I built an oil priming device in an effort to keep the bearings on my 100k old engine from spinning before figuring out my oil pressure sending unit was bad.
It was easy to use and worked great. I put all 8 quarts into it and just let it pump most of the 8 quarts in, leaving only a quart or two left to keep from getting air bubbles in it. When watching the oil pressure gauge on the car, it was showing 60PSI, so I know oil was getting into all the bearings.
Right now it has female AN-8 fitting attached to it for the V8R pan, but switching them is very simple. Autometer makes the adapter you need to run it into the side port by the alternator, or you can run it into the OEM oil pressure hole (M16 thread). You need an air compressor to pressurize the tank, but that's about it.
These devices normally go for 200+. Please help a poor college student out (that NO ONE will hire due to lack of job history
) and pick this thing up for 100 plus actual shipping . Its only a bit more then what I have into it once its all said and done, and all the guess work is done.
