Eickert Pre-luber?
 
Finished the install of my Pre-lubers.

2 questions;

what kind of oil pressure are you seeing? I have about 18 lbs (on a mechanical guage). my Aviad oil pumps run at 80. My hunch is that the check valve is keeping it low. I pick up pressure at the top so I know it is getting something up there but not really seeing much coming through the rockers.

Second, how long do you usually run these before fire up?

I just have the stock Livorsi electric gauges and they do not show me anything on PSI.

We usually run them about two to three minutes before cranking when the engines are dry and have not been ran for a while.

They work very well, but the best part is chaning oil. About three minutes and right out of the bottom of the pan!

They are worth the money in my opinion.
