I am going to get a 5.3 ls and put it in my 62 2 door hardtop Impala. I have never rebuilt an ls motor. So will keep watching your videos. Which are outstanding and your advice is to.

Did the same thing a couple years ago. I also use mine to fill lower units on boat engines, car differentials, and ATVs.

I did something Similar. I have a GenV LT1. So didn't have that oil port. I bought an Oil filter adapter that I could put my line into. My engine had not been rebuilt, just had been sitting for over a year. So I didn't want to start it dry. I just used the pump on the garden sprayer and pushed 3 or 4 quarts of oil into the engine. When I started it I had 60 PSI of pressure almost immediately.

How long can you do this prior to start up? I mean can you do this a month before start up and let it sit or does it need to be done just before start up? Thanks

You can do both if you want but it is best to prime it just prior to startup. If you do it a month before and let it sit the oil will drain off to a degree and the engine will again need to build pressure at first fire. If you have sufficiently applied assembly lube when you assembled the engine then there wont be any real need to prime it the month before and should just leave it until your ready to do the first start of the engine. The engine really needs heat cycles and time running with oil in it to build up enough protection to be really safe for it to sit for any period of time without having good oil pressure as fast as possible when the engine starts.

Is that something that should be done right before first start, I’m more concerned that a lot of the assembly lube has been flushed away, which is designed for that 3 seconds on first start? I’m guessing you will do this again when your ready to fire it up??
