Pre-oiling Engines

GatorMail-Q                   Pre-oiling Engines
Last engine I rebuilt, I made up this Rube Goldberg contraption:  I took one of
those plastic power-drill-driven pumps, stuck a funnel in one end, and adapted
the other end to the oil-pressure-gauge hose.  I then poured oil into the
funnel, and operated the pump.  I put a quart of oil through this arrangement.
Then I hooked everything up, and rotated the engine with the starter (
sparkplugs out ).  Instant oil pressure!
