    Surprisingly they did not seem to have much information on that. I am sure they are buying it somewhere. He did swear that I'd have 20-45 PSI for the cranking, so it can't be too much of a slouch. The PSI is limited to 45 by the bypass valve, so it comes down to pump volume for the ultimate...

    RE: Re: RE: pre lube It may not be popular to use the oil pan drain around here, but there's a drain plug fitting for the deuce oil pan that is very heavy duty and has two NPT holes. It came in the pelube kit I ordered and will soon install (weather permitting) The thread is 7/8-18 UNF...

    Pretty!!! Very robust looking! Cheezwhiz, all these guys with lathes running around loose, it's scary!! And it's really good, to see the evolution of these designs based on the philosopical and technical aspects. It is a very rich talent pool on this forum.

    Just installed 3 more of them (got them off GL also) and finished wiring them up. Here's a pic of the discharge test, sorry it was quite brilliant. If I can get the chiltzangbrone aligned correctly, I should shortly be able to move the engine oil 20 seconds into the future, so that it will be in...

    To say such things... Many people here know how to cobble up stuff quite well. Why, just Wednesday night, I cobbled up an IEC61000 standard automatic power crossing generator for a guy at work that needed to run tests Thursday morning for a favorite customer. Took 6 hours, and will last many...

    DM, Dropping the pan is out for me, when I get around to it maybe I can buy an oil pan plug and the fitting and get a machine shop to do it. -or this little valve that a nipple can be attached to http://www.fumotousa.com/ What is the pump model you have there?

    I would be willing to pay for an oil pan plug modified with a high quality fitting such as a 'banjo' type fitting, to be used with a prelube system, which i would also be willing to buy, in order to avoid having to cut into the oil pan or to try to re-plumb turbo returns and other things. This...

    the only difficulty might be for the M35 and a pump, as getting the oil fom the sump could be an issue since its pan does not have that neat little fitting. The pressurized cylinder seems like a good idea if it will hold for weeks..
