From the phone calls that I receive I know that there are a lot of "engine Builders" who do not know how to properly prime an engine before start up. I know because they call with comments like "the cam must be defective because one lobe wore out with only 100 miles on it." Or these bearings are junk. They wore out in no time." In both cases when asked the builder admitted to not priming the engine before startup.
Melling has provided an excellent guide to proper oil pump priming for your viewing pleasure. Please look it over so we can stamp out some of the pre-oiling myths.
I have worked in the high performance parts industry since 1968. During that time I have made numerous contacts with wholesalers and manufacturers who, from time to time, have large quantities of good quality merchandise available at way below the normal pricing. I am pleased to be able to offer you some of those items. While viewing my blog I hope that you are amused with some of the things that have happened over the years. Please leave a comment.
