Re: dry small block cylinders

Well as a progress report on today i just took my oil squirter can and kept shooting a squirt of 10-40 oil every hour into the spark plug holes. About 5 pm I took the socket and breaker bar and gave the crank a twist. No problem, I was worried after four years it might be stuck, but it rotated without a whimper. I set no 1 cylinder at TDC and reinstalled the plugs. Tomorrow morn I will spin the oil pump with my long priming shaft and a drill, drop in the distributor and fire it up. A little nervous it might blow or something, since I ashamedly admit I never rotated the motor once in all the 4 years she has been sitting neglected over in the corner of the shop. Makes you wonder about the valve springs! At my machinists behest i put in fresh oil and high zinc additive for the cam. Even though it's not a new cam, he still thought it would be a good idea . Pretty excited , we've been having crazy monsoon-like rains here for days, so it's the perfect excuse I have been looking for to get this baby back on the road. Watch, i will enjoy it so much, i won't want to sell it. LOL

I thought I saved that posting from Don but can't seem to find it right now. Basically Rich is on target but it was the oil pressure sending unit fitting not the gauge. I recall Don indicating he left the drip set up overnight and when he arrived in the morning the engine was pre-lubed. That the oil dripped in over night it would seem it was from a small opening in the oil container.

Thanks,
