[Tigers] Engine Priming

[Carmods at aol.com]

Hi Gene,
 
Here are my answers to two of your questions.
 
 
After set up, fillB pan with 30 weight oil with breakinB additive  andB run 
oil
pump via primer rod through distributor hole to get oil into  all passages. 
I
have read if youB spin the oil pump with an old distibutorB  shaft, cam gear
removed, it will force oil up through the pushrod holes.  Otherwise, that 
will
not happen during priming. True?


Yes.  





BTW, I have had the lifters and roller B rockers sitting inB oil with  
break in
oil additive included. I understand I need to be sure the lifters  are well
drainedB before installing to avoid static hydraulicB lockupB  upon
starting.True?B 
 
No.   The lifters should fill up  when you do the priming above.
