I have a rebult Mark IV 461 CI in my Nova with about 4 hours on it. I used it once early last year and winterized it in early october. I DO NOT want to pull the distributor to prime the engine with oil and was wondering if there was another way. I hate to just pull the plugs and shoot fogging oil in the cylinders and rely on that. Any ideas?

Thanks,

Ted

pull the coil wire and start rolling her over , its a PITA to pull the distr but you'll have oil pressure faster then a stripper drops her top

So I will not have to worry about bearing damage as long as I dont start it...correct?

Fo Sho and some WD - 40 shot in the cylinders wont hurt ya'll either charge up that batteria

Thanks for the help Runnin! If it doesn't snow this weekend I may have to pull the cover off. All my buds are headed to LC to get ready for the fast approaching holiday and I don't want to be left out!!

have a great day!

I would use fogging oil instead of WD-40 as it lubricates better.

Keep the plugs out while it's cranking, it'll spin faster and less pressure on the bearings, easier on the starter.

I have a 598 going in this year that has not been fired in 3 years. Fogger has been sprayed in it 2 twice a year, no oil in the motor. Should I prime the same way or should I take the dist out and prime it? Engine only has 80hrs on it and dont want to trash the bearings!!

I usually prime by cranking with the coil off as well.

Once my guage is movin(usually less than 30 sec) I reconnect the coil, let the starter cool, and fire it up!!!
