Hot Rods pre oil

Iam trying to pre lube my rebuilt 327 using drive on the oil pump. got 40 pounds oil pressure lots of oil on driver side rockers p*** side dry no oil at all. do I need to have the dist. in the block to get oil to the p*** side lifters

 

yeah....I think so. The housing seals an oil p***age.

 

thanks Jim I am going to take a old dist and try it

 

Don't put excessive downward pressure, especially if using a 1/2 in drill motor as the oil pump cover can get scored, leading to pump familiar.

 

A proper pre oiler is built just like the distributer shaft housing.

You don't just pump it you also rotate the motor ( by hand) while you are oiling it.

 

My pre oiler is built from an old distributor.

 

Mine too. I got a GM, an FE Ford, Chrysler. Every time I get a throw away distributer from someone's build or in a box if junk I make another.

 

yeah, what those guys said.

 

That did it I got oil to the p***s. side now

 

You need to turn over the crankshaft while oiling to get all the places oiled. Gary
