and never no issues?never done it... i always just prime till i got oil into the heads
nope never had an issue...
cool cool. Yeah one of my boys said he just takes out the fuel pump fuse and spin the engine over a bitI never had an issue with priming the pump with a drill until the oil comes out the pushrods and oil pressure is at normal levels, but I do know others prime, rotate, prime, rotate.. I think either way is fine. Make sure you rotate it clockwise..lol

i'm just going to go to autozone and get the loaner oneThanks for the link my friend
a long 1/4 inch socket on an extension will fit right in there. Tape them all together so nothing comes apart. Attach it to a decent drill and spin it counter clockwise.I'm going to be doing this down the line with my rebuilt engine. Is there a special end/bit that you use to go down into the distributor hole? From what I understand it takes quite a bit of torque to pump oil through the engine.
i think im just going to pull the fuel pump fuse and bump over a few times, letting it fill the oil filter in the process.a long 1/4 inch socket on an extension will fit right in there. Tape them all together so nothing comes apart. Attach it to a decent drill and spin it counter clockwise.

not really, when my friend an i primed the engine in his camaro, we just used a regular 3/8 drill. we also just ran the drill until we got oil to the top of the engine, and had at least 20psi on the gauge.
Okay, I was just going off of what someone had told me. They may have been just referring to pumping oil through .002 (clearance between main journal and bearing) when its really cold outside. Nothing quite like starting a carbureted engine when its 20 below outside
