WRT to the check valve I thought the point of it was when you open the accusump for pre-oiling it forces the oil towards the engine and not back into the oil cooler & filter. Which could push junk in

I tend to agree and that's why having it under the hood in the [former] battery box works for me. I turn it on, leave it on, and it's one less thing to forget. Also minimizes the length of expensive

I have no doubt of that. When running under load, those primitive babbit bearings require a constant flow of oil to keep them cool. My question was solely about pre-lubing before startup. Unless you

I really doubt that residual oil is sufficient, for the same reason: These are babbit bearing, not rollers. They require oil under pressure to work. A residual film doesn't do much, and under the wei

Incidentally, babbit bearing don't just need oil under pressure to cool them, they require pressure to build a wedge on the leading edge of the load area. And Babbit bearing are not primitive, they a

I'm in complete agreement here, the average race car system has a lot of volume to fill, hoses, filter, cooler, before it builds up pressure. Another point that should be mentioned, it is SOP on any

Probably only worthwhile if you pull the plugs first, otherwise you're probably shortening the life of an already overworked starter. Of course if you do that make sure you disconnect the power lead

One other thing, we're using the coated bearings which I know some other folks are using on the TRactor motors. I would think that would also help prolong the life with a "cold" start. I don't know w
