Hey guys,

would appreciate if anyone could assist me explaining to me the process of prelubing the engine after rebuild

i have built my preluber in house and would like to know where should I connect the hoses on the engine to run the oil through. If anyone has pictures would be of great help

thank you

I used a home made pre luber I built from a hand pump, and pumped a couple quarts of oil into the return oil port towards the front of the engine. I could feel the pressure increase after the first quart.

Thanks so much for that…

your motor seems to be opened?

mine is sealed and ready to start! Would This be accessible given mine is fully dressed. Excuse me, I am no mechanic…

That port is outside the oil pan mounting rail. Should have a threaded plug in it. Accessible even on fully assembled motor.

excellent. Thanks

do you know what fitting size is required

I think there 1/4 npt

That picture I posted is on a 496HO engine, and that one uses a 1/2" NPT fitting. I'm not sure what the 700 has, I know some of the earlier gen blocks had smaller NPT fittings.

Just be sure to use the more forward of the 2 fittings, use the one that doesn't have a plug in it in my picture.
