If you dont have pressure oiling equipt, then your plan is the second best one. I obtained an old steel oil pressure bottle with a schrader valve. then welded a simple valve onto it. Too this I atta

DO NOT use white liube - it is NOT oil friendly, just breaks into globs which you have to pray get filtered and not blocking some oil gallery. Use cam lube 9available at any auto parts store). Regard
