Engine Oil Pump Priming...... On the Engine Stand

The Big Block Chevy is coming along. Tonight, we are priming the oiling system on the engine stand. This is very easy to do, but also very important. It is easier now to make sure all the lifters/rockers are getting oil. Also easier now to see if there are any external leaks. Let's see if we can get some pressure.

That the way they have been primed since the 60's can't fix what is not broken.

Take an old set of steel valve covers and cut the top off of them. Works great for adjusting hydraulic lifters also if you use the spring clips to cover the holes in the rocker arms.

I talked to Clark when I ordered my copper gaskets. He said to fire the motor with no water to let the Hylomar set in. After it cools then fill the engine with water.

I’m surprised you didn’t use a gauge in it

Just recently started priming engines like this. Before I would just spin them over with the coilpack(s) disconnected until the oil pressure light went out. Next time I'll rig up this mechanical pressure gauge and see how that works.

You should always do it this way

This is the correct way to be doing it. Was wondering, when you were just disconnecting the coil packs, Did you pull all the spark plugs too ? Engine will spin much quicker to build up pressure much quicker.

Alu. rockers on the exhaust on a turbcharged big block? Is that not a very brave move?

@larrywarner9314 Ай бұрын

That engine needs more than 4 quarts of oil, should be close to 7 or 8 quarts

@jimisrael3030 Ай бұрын

4 quarts is all he put

Hopefully you do not push It as hard as the small block and then need that Torrington thrust beaing.

It isn’t a turbo John motor unless it has mismatched rocker arms 😂

Why put a new oil filter on a fresh built race engine with rust in the oil filter mounting port. Back in the late 60’s the first thing I was taught race engine builder , put together a clean & sanitary motor , this helps the longevity of the engine .
