I have attempted to prime and pre oil the system in my 355 build
using the tool shown on Grumpy's stickys but am not sure if all is as it should be.
The filter was filled pre installation and the balance of the 5 quarts of oil poured
into the lifter valley.
The tool in inserted and run with a drill turning clockwise.
Oil comes surging up around the spool shaped part of the tool where it passes thru the lifter valley floor
and down to the pump.
This spool shaped part of the tool does not fit snugly into that hole (should it??)
Anyway, I have yet to see oil at the rockers.
I have not connected a pressure gauge (gotta get one) but oil does come out the gauge port if not plugged.
It does not squirt out of that hole as if under pressure.
Am I not holding my mouth correctly??
