Pre Lube
Are many people using any sort of Pre Lube system ? I bought and installed two. It seems like a great idea but I hear very little about anyone using them.
For me, seeing oil pressure prior to starting the motors for the first run of spring was comforting. |
home Made Pre-Lube
I put together a collection of items consisting of pump, check valve, and hoses. My pump cycles on at 20 psi and off at 40 psi and I normally run the pump for about 5 minutes before starting engine, about the same time as the bilge blowers.
What system do you use? |
I am using a Preluber pump on a switch and run it for 30-sec or a min after I see oil psi.. Then roll the motor over and fire.

I have had the Accusump system for about six years
http://www.cantonracingproducts.com/...&category=2412 nice to see oil pressure before you crank it after a four month lay-up this system allows you to run the sump a quart low which keeps the crank high and dry |

I am running an ESP pre-luber. Best thing I ever did. Makes alot of sense to me, to get oil flowing before the engine fires up. It also makes changing oil a breeze. I simply disconnect 1 line, put the end in a bucket and turn on the pump.

You are right Vinny... Making progress though, on the drives. :)
