Feature:
- This unit works well with a 1/2-inch or 3/8-inch chuck hand drill.
- It comes with a thick shaft and a triangular end that helps prevent slippage.
- It features a black oxide finish and an aluminum bushing that helps center and inserts the tool into the engine’s manifold.
Why Is Engine Oil Priming Important?
- Priming the engine helps in filling up internal oil passages.
- This way, when you start the engine, it’s already immersed in oil.
- And the engine oil can lubricate and cool down the engine’s moving parts.
- If you do not prime your engine, engine oil flow to the critical engine components is interrupted.
- This may result in premature wear of those parts — or seize your engine.
- 1) Fill the oil pan with any high-quality break-in oil.
- 2) Use the priming tool to turn on the oil pump to prime it.
- 3) Slip the primer rod into the hole of the distributor shaft, which is located within the manifold.
- 4) The collar will cover the hole and center the rod while the bushing will seal the oil galley.
- 5) Now, you need to get the oil into the valve train, rockers, and camshaft. You can do this by building oil pressure, priming the pump, and spinning the rod using any ordinary power drill.
- 6) While you prime the engine, use your other hand to rotate the crankshaft. This helps ensure the proper oil distribution into all the oil passages and the bearings.

Just be carful you don’t get aluminum shavings in your oil galley when using the drill also a touch of oil on the bushing will help

I’ve built engines for years and I always have to come up with my own way to prime engines and it’s always messy. This seems like the perfect tool. As soon as my garage is finished I will be updating with pictures and how it works. I will be back to building engines. I have 5 stars because this seems like the perfect tool if I find out differently I will update right away.
