I have assembled an inexpensive pressure tank to prelube this engine - same as everyone else. Insecticide sprayer was purchased from Home Depot along with some misc. fittings & hose. One exception is that I have added an inline filter.
When pressurizing the lubrication systems on our engines via the oil pressure sensor port (because it's convenient) everyone needs to remember that this location is
after the oil filter. Therefore if there are any contaminants in our pressure bleeding apparatus they are introduced directly into the engine.
The filter I chose was a
NAPA part# 3001. It has a 1/4" inlet & outlet and filter media is 12 microns. Our OEM oil filter is 19 microns. This should keep any contaminants from inadvertently entering the engine and should keep our oil ISO at about a 15/13 which is very clean.
The oil I have chosen to prelube/break in this engine is
Valvoline VR1 10W-30 Racing Oil - non synthetic. This oil has a high level of zinc/phosphorus to reduce initial break in wear.
